New Delhi [India], August 4 (ANI): As many as 183 people have been arrested by Delhi Police in connection with the farmers' protest since 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, adding that all of them are on bail.

In a written reply responding to the question of CPI MP Binoy Viswam, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai said that "183 people have been arrested by Delhi Police in connection with the farmers' protest since 2020 (upto July 20, 2021) and all of them are on bail."

As per Delhi Police, the provisions of sedition or any other anti-terror law such as the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) have not been invoked in any of the cases registered against protesting farmers, he stated.

Farmers have been protesting on the different borders of the national capital since November 26 last year against the three newly enacted farm laws. So far, several rounds of talks have been held between the Centre and farmer leaders to break the deadlock between the two parties. (ANI)

Venezuela opposition backs Gonzalez as presidential candidate
Venezuela's major opposition coalition will back Edmundo Gonzalez as its unity presidential candidate for July's election, its leadership said on Friday, after intense internal negotiations to determine who could take on President Nicolas Maduro. The campaign has already been marked by arrests and bans on candidates, with critics alleging that Maduro's ruling party has prevented a free and fair election. Gonzalez, a former ambassador, is already registered to compete in the contest, after his name was put forward as a placeholder after both the winner of the opposition primary and her alternate were both unable to register.

US Senate has agreement on FISA reauthorization, will vote on Friday night, Schumer says
The U.S. Senate has reached an agreement to approve the reauthorization of a controversial surveillance program and plans to vote on it on Friday night, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said. If the Senate votes to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which the House approved last week, it would secure what supporters call a key element of the United States' foreign intelligence-gathering operation. "It's an important part of our national security toolkit and helps law enforcement stop terrorist attacks, drug trafficking, and violent extremism," Schumer said in a written statement.
