By hosting the G20 meeting in Kashmir, India is seeking international normalization of its settler-colonial project. This is a flagrant attempt to legitimize its occupation of the region and project a false image of normalcy. #nog20inkashmir #boycottg20inkashmir

---

The International community should take a stand against India’s decision to hold g20 meetings in Kashmir. India must be held accountable for their illegal occupation of Kashmiri land. #nog20inkashmir #boycottg20inkashmir

---

G20 member countries should demand that the Indian government end the repression of Kashmiris, release political prisoners, & open up Kashmir to the world as a starting point towards a resolution that respects the aspirations of the people. #nog20inkashmir #boycottg20inkashmir

---

India is hosting G20 meetings in Kashmir– an occupied territory subject to colonial domination & fascist repression. India continues to deny basic human & democratic rights to the Kashmiri people. Learn more at www.standwithkashmir.org/nog20inkashmir #nog20inkashmir

Kashmiris have long fought for their rights and freedoms and suffered India’s intensive militarized occupation and repression.  There is  no representative governance, no international access, no free speech, no free assembly, no access to justice and no independent media in Kashmir.  The Indian state, which is overtly fascist, is at war with civil society and dissent in Kashmir.  Instead of defending Kashmiris’ rights, powerful states have abetted India.  India’s G20 presidency is part of that process.

 

In Kashmir – which is ground zero for nuclear war, global conflict, climatic catastrophe, “democratic” authoritarianism, Islamophobia and fascism – the Indian state is expanding Hindu supremacist settler-colonialism,  stripping resources, strangulating the economy, erasing the local culture, and committing human rights violations and atrocity crimes with impunity.  The Indian state is continuing its programs of mass incarceration, systematic torture, property destruction, land expropriation and dispossession of vulnerable communities.  It is also enhancing its apparatus of surveillance, disinformation and forced silencing. The international community needs to demand accountability from India; not further perpetuate these atrocities. 

 

Azadi for Kashmir!  Azadi for all!
