Indian Government Raids Journalism

At the end of the day, the Delhi Police, who answer to India’s Ministry of Home Affairs, arrested Newsclick founder and chief editor Prabir Purkayastha and the organisation’s head of human relations Amit Chakraborty. Both remain in prison under remand. During the raid, the Delhi Police seized computers, phones, documents, and – crucially – network-attached storage (NAS) units from the Newsclick office. The NAS system contains fourteen years of coverage by Newsclick – the entire archive of its work. The Delhi Police sealed the office, making the equipment inside inaccessible to Newsclick journalists.

US federal officers raid Rudy Giuliani’s home, office

Rudy Giuliani Is a Hot Mess | The New Yorker

US federal agents have searched the Manhattan home and office of Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump’s attorney, a law enforcement official says. The raid marks an escalation of the investigation into the Ukrainian business dealings of Mr Giuliani. Mr Giuliani’s lawyer, Bob Costello, confirmed search warrants had been executed, and that authorities had seized mobile phones. Mr Giuliani, 76, did not immediately respond to a request for comment as members of the media assembled outside his apartment. The warrants included an allegation that Mr Giuliani failed to register as a foreign agent, a violation of lobbying laws.
