Global rights group slams arrest of Assam activist Pranab Doley

In a statement issued on Thursday, the organisation claimed that Doley's arrest was linked to his opposition to the proposed Hyatt luxury hotel project at Ingle Pathar near Kaziranga National Park, as well as his earlier campaign against a proposed 1,000 MW solar park in Karbi Anglong. The solar project had earlier received loan approval of USD 434.25 million from the Asian Development Bank before it was dropped.
