Indian Police Officials Prevent Afghan Students’ Demonstration in New Delhi
A group of Afghan students protested in New Delhi on Thursday in support of the "Stop Hazara Genocide" campaign. According to an organiser of the protest, the Indian police prevented the demonstration from proceeding and transferred the protesters to a police station.
The organiser told Afghanistan international that they had taken permission to hold the demonstration in New Delhi.
The organisers said that it was still unclear as to why the police blocked their demonstration.
After the recent deadly attack at the Kaj educational center in the west of Kabul city, widespread protests have been held inside Afghanistan and outside the country.
Several human rights groups and civil society activists have launched a Twitter campaign with #StopHazaraGenocide hashtag. So far, this hashtag has been tweeted more than five million times.
