In favor of…not the US’ new health or environmental threat, but the unruly and aggressive demonstrators of farmers in India, Popstar Rihanna first appealed.
It preceded, Rihanna’s quote tweeting, the Overseas Human Rights Watch NGO.
“Indian authorities should be releasing activists and others already jailed or facing criminal charges in politically motivated cases, not adding to that list" ~ @mg2411 https://t.co/OyiTBUjNz2 #FarmersProtest https://t.co/4hRqEISrML

In their own subtle ways, many celebrities back home expressed love for Rihanna, such as Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh and Shibani Dandekar.
Thunberg tweeted late on Tuesday night, “We stand in solidarity with #farmersprotest in India,” along with a news story about the Centre’s decision to ban internet services at three protest sites near the border with Delhi. The same CNN story was also shared by Rihanna, tweeting why “we weren’t talking about this.”
We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India.
