Between May 2022 and April 2023, seven cases of attacks on rural, regional, or minority journalists in India were reported. The next leading IFJ indicator of media rights violations was the jailing of journalists. The degree of press freedom in India has steadily declined since 2014. Criticism of the Modi-led government by news organizations was often met with retaliation in the form of raids, arrests, and physical attacks.
