Rahul Gandhi, leader of India's principal opposition party, was expelled from Parliament after being convicted of "defamation" for insulting Prime Minister Modi.

It was, indeed, rather insulting to all other Indians named Modi. Gandhi should not have said that. But it is not grounds to put anyone in prison.

In the US, I am pretty sure that saying that "all thieves have Trump as their common surname" would not not be slander against Trump. So I am pretty sure that India's standards for convicting someone of defamation of a politician are too weak.

*Hotel Rwanda's Paul Rusesabagina to be released from prison* in response to US pressure. The US considers his trial for "terrorism" to be unfair.

The Tories propose to pass a law that prohibits many groups of workers from completely striking. Some unions now propose to strike anyway and go to jail.

*Officers in ‘Cop City’ raid shot pepperball gun into [Manuel Paez Terán]'s tent first.*

This means that the thugs started the shooting. They said he did that.

The article presents reasons to distrust their testimony, in addition to the likelihood that (being thugs) they are probably habituated to perjury.
