RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Amnesty International has called on Indian authorities to stop the “unlawful” demolition of Muslim properties.

It released two reports describing the targeting of Muslim homes, businesses and places of worship across several states, calling the demolitions a form of extra-judicial punishment and demanding compensation to all those affected.

Its conclusions follow the demolition of 128 properties in the states of Assam, Delhi, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh following communal violence and protests between April and June 2022.
