印度"蟑螂党"创始人因反选民审查抗议被预防性逮捕

印度"蟑螂"运动创始人Abhijeet Dipke在新德里因试图参加反对选民名单审查的抗议活动而被预防性逮捕1。Dipke计划参加名为"Lehra Do Tiranga"（挥动三色旗）的抗议集会1。此前，学生领袖Neha Bora在被拘留后于周五夜晚获释，她声称自己的拘留是"非法的"1。

争议的焦点在于印度选举委员会推行的特殊密集审查（SIR）计划，该计划导致超过1.3亿个名字从选民名单中被删除1。反对党和批评人士指出，被删除的选民中少数族裔占大多数1。抗议者要求印度选举委员会主席下台，指控政府利用选民登记审查来支持执政党BJP1。

此外，CJP联合协调人Ashutosh Ranka和Saurav Das已在周三被判处五天监禁1。Dipke、Das和Ranka曾在10月10日从飞机上被拘留，理由是他们试图进行抗议游行1。美国方面也对此事表示关注，六名美国议员敦促国务卿Marco Rubio在访问印度期间提出这些拘留问题1。

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of India's 'Cockroach' party, has been placed under preventive arrest in New Delhi while attempting to participate in the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' (Wave the Tricolor) protest rally against voter list scrutiny 1. The arrest is part of a broader crackdown on demonstrations challenging the government's electoral practices, which activists contend disproportionately affects minority voters.

Over 1.3 billion names have been removed from voter rolls through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) program 1. Opposition parties and critics argue that minority community members comprise the majority of those delisted 1. The controversy has drawn international attention, with six U.S. lawmakers urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to raise the detention issues during his visit to India 1.

The preventive arrests extend beyond Dipke. Student leader Neha Bora was released Friday night after detention, describing her confinement as "illegal" 1. Additionally, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, coordinators of the CJP alliance, were sentenced to five days in jail on Wednesday 1. Dipke, Das, and Ranka were detained on October 10 after attempting to stage a protest march 1. Protesters are demanding the resignation of India's Election Commission chief, accusing the government of using voter registration scrutiny to benefit the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 1.
