Amnesty International India

Amnesty International India was a country unit of the Amnesty International network, and was part of a global movement promoting and defending human rights and dignity. In September 2020, Amnesty halted its operations in the country after all bank accounts of the organization were frozen by Enforcement Directorate in connection with its money laundering probe into the finances of Amnesty International and its related entities. The organization called this 'witch hunting' while the government of India said the case is based on a FIR filed by CBI against Amnesty for alleged violation of the Foreign Contributions Regulatory Act
