India's "Cockroach Party" leaders released from detention

Three leaders of India's Cockroach Janata Party, a youth movement, were released Sunday, a day after they were detained ahead of protests against a contentious revision of voter lists.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around police detaining leaders of India’s satirical “cockroach” movement and trying to head off a large protest. Sky News stresses that the founder was among hundreds detained in a “major crackdown,” while France 24 twice foregrounds the detention of the movement’s head and, in one extract, says protesters were still gathering in New Delhi. Only France 24 explicitly mentions the election commissioner’s resignation demand and that the group itself said the leader was detained.
