A repressão em Delhi desperta protestos de flash por toda a cidade
Police and paramilitary forces cracked down on a planned Jantar Mantar rally on Saturday, sealing central Delhi and detaining hundreds. The move pushed youth groups to hold flash protests at Safdarjung flyover, Dilli Haat, Raj Ghat and makeshift detention centres, raising concerns over civil liberties.
protestas de flash se espalham por Delhi
A prisão em massa dos manifestantes inédita do Poder Policial de Delhi e das forças paramilitares provocou muitas organizações juvenis para se moverem suas demonstrações neste sábado a outros locais, incluindo o Safdarjung viaduto, o Dilli Haat, Raj Ghat e várias detentoras improvisadas em norte do Distrito de Delhi.
A parte central da capital nacional foi fechada com um forte deslocamento policial e barricadas enquanto as estações de metrô, escolas, colégios e mercados permaneciam fechados.
Announcements were broadcast from loudspeakers across central Delhi, invoking Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and urging citizens to follow police directions.

These impacts highlight how sudden security measures can curtail ordinary civic activities and amplify fears of excessive force.
Detention of at least 12 people on Raisina Road and the bundling of larger crowds of 100‑200 into buses illustrate the scale of the operation.
Police also reported injuries to their own officers while detaining protesters, adding another layer to the tension.

Jantar Mantar is traditionally the focal point for large‑scale dissent in Delhi, but police stopped groups of four or five and larger crowds of 100‑200 from reaching it.
Protesters regrouped at Safdarjung flyover, where they tried to stop a bus of detainees. Some stood in front of the bus, others lay down on the road, and police used batons to push them away.
At Raj Ghat, over 150 people gathered under the banners of Disha Students’ Organisation, Naujawan Bharat Sabha and the Revolutionary Workers’ Party of India. After being detained, they were taken to Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Bawana, more than 30 km from the original site.
Inside the bus and later at the stadium, detainees sang protest songs and discussed alleged irregularities by the Election Commission of India.
Students’ Federation of India members held a public lecture titled ‘India under undeclared Emergency’ at the Bawana detention centre, featuring a retired Jamia Millia Islamia professor who had also been detained.
