# Assam activist held under NSA after bail, rights groups protest 2026-08-06T16:41:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet More than 60 civil rights groups have condemned the detention of Assam environmental activist Pranab Doley under the National Security Act. Doley was detained on July 30, a day after a sessions court granted him bail in a case linked to protests against a proposed luxury resort inside Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve. The court found no evidence that he had attacked police and noted that his arrest notice was served late. The Assam government’s NSA notice alleges that Doley was involved in suspicious foreign transactions and violated the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act. The project is being developed by Juniper Hotels on land leased by the Assam Tourism Development Corporation. Tea tribes have challenged the land acquisition in the Gauhati High Court. Rights groups want Doley’s release, an inquiry into police conduct and disclosure of project and land details. ## Coverage - india.mongabay.com Tags: Assam, environment, Indigenous rights, Kaziranga, National Security Act Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/assam-activist-held-under-nsa-after-bail-rights-groups-protest/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
