From the first, nightly, police action in Oslo against #Sami & #environmental_activists demanding that the government comply with the #NorwegianSupremeCourt ruling - 500+ days ago - stating that the building of the #Fosen_wind_farm on #reindeer grazing lands constituted #humanrightsviolation against #indigenous reindeer herders. A week later - after countless police actions, growing media attention & expanding crowds - the government gave in, #apologized and promised to take remedial action.

More than a dozen Indian Income Tax officials entered BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai seizing accounts, financial documents, and phones of BBC employees.

The raid took place this morning, weeks after the airing of the BBC doc Modi sought to censor.
