House Arrest of 5 Activists Extended Till September 17 By Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has extended the house arrest for five rights activists, accused of Maoist links, till September 17 when it will hear a petition seeking their release. The petition by historian Romila Thapar and four others has challenged last month's arrest of the five activists that sparked a chorus of outraged protests from human rights defenders.
