Dear John,
India’s 2024 elections will be the world’s largest, with over 986 million people registered to vote. Hundreds of millions of citizens will rely on the internet to learn about the candidates and party platforms.
But the Indian government has asserted increasing authority over online content, particularly under the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and it regularly forces social media companies to remove content that officials deem unlawful. This limits free decision-making and infringes on the exercise of citizens’ most important political right.

|
Join us for the launch of Nations in Transit 2024, Freedom House's report on the state of democracy in the 29-country region stretching from Central Europe to Central Asia, a region increasingly defined by the widening gulf between those nations committed to a liberal, democratic order and those that violently reject it.

Nicaragua’s Stateless Exiles
|
A year after the Nicaraguan government stripped hundreds of dissidents of their citizenship, authorities continue to harass them and other political exiles, coercing their relatives back home and restricting their ability to travel. Host-country support and advocacy for targeted individuals and their family members are sorely needed to overcome the precarious conditions they face.
