A member of the Dutch Parliament, Geert Wilders, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to defend her rights and called her arrest a "disgrace for freedom of speech."

With a photo reading, "All eyes on Sharmistha", Wilders wrote: "Free the brave Sharmishta Panoli! It's a disgrace for the freedom of speech that she was arrested. Don't punish her for speaking the truth about Pakistan and Muhammad. Help her @narendramodi."
