Kashmir Indian Independence Day Protest
India House, London. Thu 15 Aug 2019
I was late in arriving as the protest had brough traffic in a large
area of London to a standstill. Aldwych was full
of people and it was hard to move. I could hear a lively protest at
the side of India House, but the crowd and police
made it impossible to get there.
Some of the protesters supported the Pakistan claim to Kashmir
while others were calling for a free and independent Kashmir
but they were united in calling for an end to the Indian military
occupation of the country
'It's not about religion ... It's about humanity'
'We will not stop until there is a peace in Kashmir'
'Hold India Accountable for those Killed in Fake Encounters &
Buried in Unnamed Unmarked Mass Graves
Police and Mounted police in front of the embassy
'India's Brutal Record On Kashmir: 70,000+ killed 10,000 missing ...'-
