India: Perto de 300 escritores e activistas culturais responden á situación na Cachemira: "Isto é unha burla da democracia" (inglés)

By revoking the special status of Jammu & Kashmir and splitting it up into two union territories, the central government has made a mockery of democracy. It has violated the solemn promises made to the state of Jammu & Kashmir by the Union of India during the accession of the state in 1947.  

The abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution and the breakup of the state has been executed unilaterally, clandestinely and coercively. The people — across religious, cultural, ethnic and ideological segments — have not been consulted. Indeed, the unprecedented security and information clampdown in the state since 5th August 2019 is proof of the government’s fear of popular discontent and democratic dissent.  

We, Indians who are writers, artists, media persons and cultural activists, condemn the undemocratic and unconstitutional moves of the government in Jammu & Kashmir. We condemn the government’s division of people and territories from above, subverting the very basis of our constitutional federalism. We condemn the state of siege imposed on the people of a state already suffering for many long years.  

We demand that the state of siege in Jammu & Kashmir be lifted, and all basic freedoms — including those of free expression, communication and media freedoms — be restored with immediate effect. We demand the restoration of Article 370, and the restoration of the state of Jammu & Kashmir. We declare our solidarity with the Kashmiri people, and call on all our fellow citizens to resist this authoritarian challenge to the freedom and autonomy of Jammu & Kashmir.

Bruxelas: Nova acción da campaña "GN Saibaba en tódalas partes"

O noso compañeiro Adolfo Naya, no marco da campaña:"GN Saibaba en tódalas partes" realizou unha pegada e distribución de panfletos, coa resolución dos expertos de dereitos humanos da ONU sobre o caso do profesor, polas próximidades da embaixada India en Bruxelas. Ao dia seguinte desapareceran os panfletos pegados, así que volveronse a pegar, sendo un indicador do caracter fascista do goberno indio que pretende ocultar a tortura que está a sufrir o profesor. 

Our comrade Adolfo Naya, in the framework of the campaign: "GN Saibaba everywhere" He glued and distribution of pamphlets, with the resolution of UN human rights experts on the case of the professor, by the proximities of the Indian embassy in Brussels. The next day the glued pamphlets disappeared, so they glued again, being an indicator of the fascist character of the Indian government trying to hide the torture the teacher is suffering.
