Italian support initiative to Indian anti-repression week

26/05/2005

In concomitance with the all Indian week against repression in Italy two protests rallies were held, one in Milan on May 19 in front of the Indian consulate, and one in Rome on May 20 in front of the Indian embassy. They were organised by the Italian section of the World People´s Resistance Movement "Proletarian Communists", the Anti-imperialist Camp and the Nepal Solidarity Committee.

Banners were put up calling for the end of the repression, to halt the killing, torture and the arrests of activists for social and political rights of the popular masses. The speakers expressed their support to the Indian revolutionary movement as well as the Nepalese one.

In Rome a protest petition was handed over to a representative of the embassy.
