Immediately drop all charges against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade

We protest the manner of detention of the Indian Deputy Consul General Dr. Devyani Khobragade on the 12 December 2013 in New York. There is perceptible animus in the manner in which the arrest was handled. Dr. Khobragade was arrested as she came out of her daughter's school, handcuffed, strip-searched, body cavity searched, swabbed and kept in a lock up in spite of her assertions of immunity. She is one of the faces of Indian government for the Indian community in the United States. Her public humiliation injures the sentiments of the Indian American community. Such incidents are bound to strain the Indo-US relations. We request that given the trauma and public humiliation that Dr. Khobragade has egregiously suffered, the criminal case against her should be dropped immediately.
