India Releases Journalist Daya Ram Dahal

India, after arresting Nepali journalist Daya Ram Dahal, for more than a month, released him on Friday. This is one example of how the world's largest democracy treats freedom of the press and prosecutes journalists. Dahal was arrested on 29 May (FNJ denounced his arrest) while he was reporting on Bhutanese refugees' "long march" to their homeland via India. Strangely, the news media were relatively mum on Dahal's ordeal.
