Article 14

Overview

Article 14 is an Indian news website addressing threats to and failures of justice in India's legal system, produced through a joint effort of lawyers, journalists and academics. It takes its name from Article 14 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees equality before the law. Its coverage has focused heavily on press freedom, preventive detention and treatment of journalists in Jammu and Kashmir, and on court and policing issues nationally.

Based on the site's earliest social media activity and a Library of Congress web archive record, it launched around 2020.
