Arunachal Environmental Activist Stopped from Traveling Abroad

Arunachal Environmental Activist Stopped from Traveling Abroad

Imagine someone who is trying to protect the environment, named Bhanu Tatak, was stopped at the airport while trying to go to Ireland.

The police in her home state of Arunachal Pradesh put out a special alert, so airport officials wouldn't let her leave.

They said she might have been involved in some protests where things got a bit rowdy, like encouraging people to confront a minister.

She was planning to study in Ireland.

Some people think this is unfair and are speaking out to defend her rights.

They believe the government is trying to silence her because she opposes a big project that could affect the environment and local people.

They want the government to respect her rights and let her travel.
