India Charges Activist Nadeem Khan in What Civil Rights Groups Call a "Witch-Hunt"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In India, civil liberties groups have criticized the Modi government for
filing charges against human rights activist Nadeem Khan as part of
what's been described as a "targeted witch-hunt." Khan is a vocal critic
of Hindu supremacist violence and runs a civil rights organization that
tracks and fights cases of mob lynchings and hate crimes against
Muslims.
