SC to Teesta: Stop reporting Guj riot proceedings to UNHRC

NEW DELHI: Human rights activist Teesta Setalvad faced the SC's wrath on Thursday for reporting to UN Human Rights Council about 10 Gujarat riot case proceedings monitored by the SC.

"It shows you (Teesta) do not have confidence in us. We are monitoring the cases and are here to hear your grievances. Yet, you write to the UN body. Can the international body provide protection to witnesses?," asked a bench.

The court's strictures forced her to give an undertaking that she would not send any such communication to the UN body.
