India: Arundhati Roy may face sedition charge

26 Oct 2010

Booker prize-winner and human rights activist Arundhati Roy faces possible arrest following her remarks that Kashmir is not an integral part of India. India’s home ministry has told police in Delhi that a case of sedition may be registered against Roy and Kashmiri separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani. In a statement that Roy released in response to the increasing movement against her she was unrepentant. This follows last week’s arrest of another Kashmiri separatist leader for allegedly organising anti–India protests.
