4000 Protest Against Christian Persecution in India
Wednesday, May 30, 2007

More than 4000 protesters took part in a rally in New Delhi, India, on Tuesday to demand that the Indian Government acts to quell the recent increase in violence against Christians, which includes two attacks broadcast on national television.

The rally started at 10am local time and at 1pm the protesters marched toward the Indian Parliament. Organisers also released an open letter to the Government outlining their demands.

The rally was called in response to two attacks against Christians which were televised on several news channels. Christian leaders are concerned that copycat attacks could take place in the future unless the Government vocalises opposition to these and other similar attacks, many of which are committed with impunity, Christian Solidarity Worldwide has said. the rest
