India protests China's 'arbitrary detention' of citizen at Shanghai airport

India has lodged a protest with China over what it called an “arbitrary detention” of an Indian citizen at the Shanghai airport after the traveler from a northeastern state said she was held for hours because Chinese authorities refused to recognize her passport. The woman, who was stopped by Chinese authorities during a layover in Shanghai en route to Japan on Nov. 21, said she was told her passport was invalid because her birthplace, the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, is considered to be Chinese territory.
