• India: In Shadow of Trump’s India Visit, New Delhi Sees Worst Attacks on Muslims in Decades
  26 February 2020, by siawi3

  “That this recent burst of anti-Muslim violence comes during Trump’s visit to India is only proof of not only Trump’s own legitimizing power of violence against Muslims but also the Pavlovian fascist reactionism in India to a fascist like Trump.”

• France : Prison de Perpignan. Un détenu passé à tabac pour ne pas avoir respecté le ramadan
  5 avril 2022, par siawi3

  Un détenu a dû être évacué au centre hospitalier. Il affirme avoir été passé à tabac par un autre détenu, lequel lui reprochait ne pas avoir respecté le Ramadan. « C’est une réalité quotidienne. Certains ne mangent plus de porc car ils subissent des pressions ». Un mois de fêtes religieuses… Et de vigilance. Ce mois d’avril voit en effet coexister les Rameaux et Pâques pour les chrétiens, la fête juive de Pessah et le mois du Ramadan pour les musulmans.

• India: Release of culprits in the Bilkis rape case exposes the misogyny of the VHP-RSS & BJP
  26 August 2022, by siawi3

  Bilkis Bano is the victim of the RSS and the Modi government’s (when it happened, Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat) efforts to alienate Muslims from the mainstream of Indian society and push them to the periphery. The many lynching cases that have taken place since 2002 are testimony to the machination of the RSS and BJP to supress Muslims in India. Can we expect some relief for Bilkis Bano and the witnesses who testified against the accused and are today terrorised by the prospect of all 11 accused with evident links to the ruling BJP in Gujarat roaming around freely, specially after the rousing reception they received from their supporters, soon as they walked out of the jail together---hugs and sweets as if they were incarcerated for upholding some just cause.

• India: Statement From Feminists in India Against The Police Violence That Killed George Floyd [in the US]
  3 June 2020, by siawi3

  We in India, who have long been living with a sense of outrage over the violence and discrimination perpetrated by our own police force against minorities and the most marginalized, recognize the importance of this moment. The powerful slogan, ‘Black Lives Matter’ now resonating across the US, reminds us of the targeted violence being perpetrated by the Indian state and police against specific communities, right here, right now.

• India: “See to it that the fabric isn’t ruptured”
  24 August 2021, by siawi3

  Last week-end several Hindutva communal brigades and their promoters and organizers reached right up to that significant central spot of this capital city and rendered anti-Muslim hate filled slogans and speeches. In fact, this was a repeat of what took place a week back at Delhi’s Dwarka local. Mind you, a Muslim’s anger is not against the Hindu but against the fascist communal forces. I would go to the extent to say that whatever little chance of survival holds out for the Indian Muslim community is because of the liberal and progressive Hindus and Sikhs and Christians and Atheists and Parsis, who refuse to be part of the Hindutva brigades.
