Stand with Kashmir

Trafalgar Square, Londeeedon. Thu 15 Aug 2019


 Another protest had been organised for the early evening in Trafalgar Square. 'Stop State terror in Jammu & Kashmir'

 

 

 'Resistance is Existence - Free Kashmir'

 A Kashmiri woman speaks about her worries about her family who she is unable to contact because of the

 communications blackout imposed by India - no phones, no internet in Kashmir - and no reporters.

 A large crowd fills the centre of the square

 Many wear 'Red for Kashmir'

 A poster shows a blood-stained Indian flag with the message 'Modi, You Have Blood on Your Hands'

 and shows Modi and Hitler with devils horns 'Mod: Reincarnation of Hitler! What's the difference?'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A Kashmiri man begins to speak. There is uproar from parts of the crowd as he says there should be no Pakistan

 flags and just posters and placards supporting Kashmiri freedom

 Some push to the front and begin arguing with the event organisers

 and things get very heated

 

 witht he crowd shouting too

 

 several police officers move in and try to calm things down

 and eventually those who have been protesting move away and the protest continues

 

 

 

 'Modi is a Killer'

 

 

 Supporters of Pakistan and their claim to Kashmir continue a separate protest further up the steps

 

 Both groups are against the action by Indian Prime Minister Modi - and all want India out of Kashmir

 Sahibzada A Jahangir, spokesman to the Prime Minister of Pakistan
