Journalist Rana Ayyub was on Tuesday stopped at Mumbai Airport when she was about to board a flight to the UK to deliver a speech at the International Centre for Journalists (ICJ), and accused the Enforcement Directorate for summoning her despite making her programme public in advance.

Ayyub alleged that the ED's summon arrived in her inbox after she was stopped. The ICJ came out in her support, tweeting that Ayyub was being legally harassed by Indian authorities. "ICFJ stands with @RanaAyyub and we reiterate our demand for the Indian authorities to end their legal and digital harassment campaign against the multi-award-winning @washingtonpost journalist. #LetRanaFly #WeStandWithRana," it tweeted.
