India Moves to Silence Justice For All
India has become one of the world’s most aggressive democratic censors, using website blocks, social media restrictions and internet shutdowns to silence human rights advocacy. Now, Justice For All is the latest target.
India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has sent Justice For All a notice asking why our website should remain accessible in India. If Justice For All does not respond, the website could face an automatic ban.
We responded with full conviction in our human rights work on Kashmir, prisoners of conscience and hijab rights — the three areas cited in the notice.
Justice For All made clear that India’s people, civil society and intellectual traditions should not be treated as so fragile that they must be shielded from standard human rights reporting and advocacy. Already, Justice For All’s India-focused Facebook and X accounts are blocked in the country.
We remain committed to speaking the truth, defending human rights and standing with targeted communities, regardless of attempts to censor our work.

Muslim Judge Targeted in India
Justice For All Condemns Threats Against Judge Tabassum Khan
Justice For All is gravely concerned by the targeting of Judge Tabassum Khan in India after she sentenced men convicted in a deadly cow-vigilante attack.
Judge Khan’s ruling held the perpetrators accountable for a lynching that left one man dead. In response, threatening videos and communal attacks have surfaced online, accusing her of acting against the convicted men because she is Muslim.
This is not only an attack on one judge. It is an attack on judicial independence and another warning sign of how Hindutva supremacy is eroding India’s justice system. When a Muslim judge is threatened for applying the law, every targeted community becomes less safe.
Justice For All urges Indian authorities to investigate the threats, prosecute those responsible and protect judges from intimidation by Hindutva-aligned vigilantes and their supporters. Read full statement
