The Amethi Police tweeted on Tuesday evening that they have registered a criminal case against a young man who took to Twitter to make an appeal for an oxygen cylinder.

The charges include circulating a rumour with intent to cause fear or alarm whereby any person may be induced to commit an offence against the State or against the public tranquility and engaging in acts likely to spread infectious diseases.

Instead of trying to help their citizens, they are arresting them because asking for life saving medical supplies apparently makes them look bad to the rest of the world. Wtf India.

India's current problems are because its a fascist country more concerned about its image than anything else. They're willing to lie and deny there are any problems happening, and now they're paying a massive price for those lies.

India hates to look bad, almost as much as China.

I listened to an interview where it was said many of the infected had oxygen saturation levels in the single digits.

The whole situation there is terrifying. :(

fwiw, you could say the same thing about America. Especially at the height of COVID, when Donald Trump ended lockdown weeks/months before he should have.

It is extremely fucked up what's happening in India though. Like no-one ever got arrested for "spreading false rumors" for asking around for medical supplies. Even those fucking scalper fuckfaces who bought every bottle of hand sanitizer and every mask within a 20 mile radius didn't get arrested, though their supplies did get taken by the state.

You would die in minutes if that's the case, essentially suffocating.

Theres also videos of police officers stealing oxygen from poor people, presumably for the wealthy.

Facebook also banned the hashtag #resignmodi for a bit, I dunno if it's still banned.

Imagine that.

India is basically if trump could have his way unchecked..... Unbalanced power, corrupt self serving government officials who help their business friends and hurt their business enemies, corrupt media that caters to the government and literally show fake news.

The crazy part is despite the crazy number of cases its still probably being underreported significantly.

Even in America it was suggested that the true covid numbers could've been double the reported numbers since so many people don't test. But in India it's probably many times the reported numbers since so many in poverty don't get tested and don't get any care at all.

Yeah, at least in America you could criticize Trump all you want on Twitter and nothing would happen to you.

But try criticizing Modi if you're an Indian citizen and you'll end up in a concentration camp.
