US religious freedom panel urges sanctions against India's external spy agency

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has recommended that the U.S. government impose sanctions on India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) due to its alleged involvement in transnational repression against religious minorities. This recommendation comes in light of reports detailing the Indian government's actions against religious minorities both within India and abroad.
