Protesters Decry Delhi Violence at Demos in US, UK (+Video)

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Protesters gathered outside the Indian consulates in San Francisco and New York and embassy in London on Saturday to decry the ongoing violence in New Delhi as well as the government policies toward Muslims.

Meanwhile, protesters in Netherlands as well as other parts of the world gathered to voice anger over the violence in the Indian capital.

At least 38 people have died in Delhi since protests against the new Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which began on Monday, triggered violent clashes between Hindus and Muslims.  

Many Muslim properties had been destroyed, with three mosques also being burnt, as well as multiple schools and many vehicles.

Protests have swept India since the Indian Parliament passed the CAA on December 11, entitling religious minority migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan to Indian citizenship if they entered the country before the end of December 2014, but excluding Muslims.

The act has come under criticism for discriminating against undocumented Muslim migrants.
