*ACTION ALERT: Act Now to Stop Violence Against Muslims in Vadodara, Gujarat
*
The state of Gujarat, India is again experiencing violence directed at the
minority Muslim community. The outbreak of violence was started off by the
demolition of a 300 year old historical Muslim shrine. The police shooting
at the protesters and the subsequent attacks by mobs have led to a death
toll of six with many others seriously injured. One man was burned alive by
a Hindu extremist mob of 1,500 that had besieged a Muslim neighborhood.
Numerous Muslim localities in Vadodara are reported being besieged by
violent mobs as we speak.
The fast deteriorating situation in Vadodara could very well lead to a
repeat of the 2002 Gujarat massacres in which over 2,000 people were killed.
Despite a predictable reaction to the destruction of a historical shrine,
the government of Gujarat has been unwilling to take action to curb the
violence. The rapidly spreading attacks on Muslims by mobs belonging to
Hindu extremist groups indicate that the Gujarat government machinery is
complicit in accommodating the mass violence and attacks on Muslims in the
city. There have been multiple reports alleging police excesses on Muslims,
including indiscriminate arrests of male Muslim members from their houses.
Most of those killed or injured in the police firing belonged to the
minority community.
Narendra Modi's government has been widely accused by Indian and
International human rights organizations of active involvement in the
massacre and ethnic cleansing of Muslims during the 2002 violence in
Gujarat.
*ACTION(S) REQUESTED:*
IMC -USA urges all concerned to immediately call and write to the office of
the Prime Minister of India, with the following demands:
1. The Central government of India should take immediate action to protect
the lives and property of all the people in Gujarat, particularly the
vulnerable minority Muslim community.
2. The Central government should take action against the Gujarat state
government to prevent it from spreading organized violence against minority
communities.
3. The Central government actively intervene and deploy the army to quell
the ongoing violence.
4. An inquiry be called into the police action in firing and killing
protesters at the shrine demolition
