German foreign ministry on India’s ongoing detention of journalist Mohammed Zubair and\u00a0had said.”Free reporting is beneficial to any society and restrictions are a cause for concern. Journalists should not be persecuted and imprisoned for what they say and write. We are indeed aware of this specific case and our embassy in New Delhi is monitoring it very closely,”<\/p>\n
He said the European Union had an ongoing human rights dialogue with India and “the freedom of expression and freedom of the press” are a focus of those discussions.<\/p>\n
“India describes itself as the world\u2019s largest democracy. So one can expect democratic values like freedom of expression and of the press to be given the necessary space there”<\/p>\n
