At 1200, we march from Brandenburger Tor to the Indian Embassy as part of the Europe-wide #BrusselsChalo

Word is that he will turn up in Brussels on March 13.

We are gathering at Potsdamer Platz at 1400 on Saturday, February 29 to march to the Indian Embassy.

On February 24, supporters of India’s unjust Citizenship Amendment Act attacked Muslims in Northeast Delhi, some times in full view of the Delhi Police. The attackers have been photographed using stones and hurling petrol bombs.

We must show up in large numbers to express deep solidarity with the victims and demand that the Indian government wake up and put an end to this unrelenting violence against Muslims, minorities, and protesters in India.

Earlier this year, the European Parliament postponed voting on a joint motion for a resolution that among other things:

• deeply regretted the “the adoption and implementation of the CAA, which is discriminatory in nature and dangerously divisive”;
• called on the Indian Government to address concerns raised over the NRC;
• called for a prompt and impartial investigation into the violence and brutality in India after protests broke out against the CAA; and
• called on the Indian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release protesters and human rights defenders currently held under arrest

Today, you can ask the Members of the European Parliament to vote on and pass this resolution.

Sign the petition now!

For weeks now, the people of India have protested against the cruel policies of the Narendra Modi government, including its inhumane and discriminatory citizenship law. There has been an explosion of fraternal love, resistance with art and poetry, and a re-discovery of constitutional values.

Join us on India’s Republic Day to learn, share food and drink, sing and dance in solidarity with the brave protestors.

It’s a soli-party!

Start time: 1900, January 26 (Sunday)
