During Modi’s NL visit, questions on press freedom & minority rights were brushed off as “misunderstandings.” That’s not engagement-it’s strategy. And silence isn’t neutral- it’s a choice. DAHRD wrote about it in a piece published by @trouw.nl 👉🏼 gqr.sh/nVLz #India #Democracy

During the event, DAHRD will present findings from cases reviewed through the Appeals Centre Europe mechanism established under the DSA framework. Our monitoring documented persistent under-enforcement involving anti-Muslim hate speech in non-EU languages and broader moderation failures.
