Indian authorities released Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the "cockroach" movement, and two other leaders from detention Sunday after detaining them to prevent a protest against the election commissioner in New Delhi on Saturday. Thousands were detained ahead of the demonstration, which was organized to demand resignation over allegations of misconduct during voter roll revisions that removed more than 133 million names from electoral lists. The revision has sparked criticism for disproportionately affecting minorities and stifling dissent, with calls from human rights organizations for those detained to be released immediately.
