Police in India have detained around a dozen student protesters who were trying to march to the parliament building in New Delhi to demand the release of a climate activist.
Disha Ravi, 22, had been arrested for circulating a document on social media supporting months of protests by farmers.
The protesters shouted “Free Disha Ravi” and “Shame on prime minister Modi and home minister Amit Shah” as they tried to break police barricades outside the office of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), a student wing of the main opposition Congress party.
