From the BBN segment “India's 'Cockroach' leaders jailed after entering 'banned' protest…”, cut down to under a minute.
The full story and the real reporting behind it (Al Jazeera) →
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Al Jazeera.
Hank LedgerTwo leaders of India's Cockroach Janta Party have been jailed for five days after entering a banned protest site in Delhi.
Hank LedgerAl Jazeera reports the site was off limits, and the editors frame it as a test of civil liberties and the right to dissent.

Hank LedgerFive days.

Dale BearmanResilience is exactly what a cockroach has, Vera, right up until somebody turns on the kitchen light and reaches for a shoe.
