August 18, 2016 20:37

Amnesty today advised its staff in India to work either from home or a different location in the wake of protests against the NGO for organising an event where anti-India slogans were allegedly raised.

"We were told by police to keep our staff away from office for a while as a precaution. So, we told our employees to either work from home or some other location.

"Apparently, there were protests outside our Bengaluru office...So police cautioned us in the morning," Amnesty International India's spokesperson said.

"By tomorrow, our employees would assume normal working mode. We are not shutting down our offices," the spokeswoman said when asked about reports of its offices closing temporarily.
