> An Amnesty International investigation found that Indian security forces used tear gas, pellet-firing shotguns, grenades, batons and electric shock devices against Gen Z protesters in New Delhi on July 20. More than 100 students were injured, while Amnesty said the tactics breached international law and domestic policing rules and contradicted police denials.
