Indian police have arrested Rao and four other rights activists for suspected links to Maoists in raids on their homes and offices at several places in the country Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2018.

Their arrests raise disturbing questions about whether they are being targeted for their activism,” said Aakar Patel, executive director of Amnesty International India. (AP Photo/Bikas Das, File)
