Amnesty's resources are better spent in operating in those countries where there is no democracy such as middle east, africa, china, etc. Good they got an exit from India where they are useless :)

If ever, courts will act a couple of years after the case. The judicial system is close to non-functional due to underfunding and mismanagement and lately due to political influence by the current fascist regime. The global public is slowly getting aware of all the human rights abuses happening in the country - good.
