India extends emergency powers by lengthening detention
New Delhi extends the Internal Security Act to allow political prisoners to be held for 24 months without charges or court review. The measure, justified as safeguarding the emergency declared last June, broadens detentions amid a tense political climate with figures ranging from 10 000 to 100 000 prisoners cited by opponents.
