Dear
friends, In a few days, India will delete as
many as 7 million Muslims in Assam State from its master
list of “citizens” because they speak the wrong language and
worship the wrong God. Husbands, wives,
and children could be torn apart and left to rot in prison
camps.
This is how genocides begin - how
the nightmare of the Rohingya began. But it’s all unfolding
quietly -- if we raise a massive alarm calling for the UN
Secretary-General and key governments to intervene - we
can stop this horror before it starts: Raise the Alarm The
Assam government has already begun quietly building another
new prison camp and deploying
troops. Like the Burmese regime that
attacked the Rohingya, the government claims they’re acting
against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. But the vast
majority of the people targeted are just poor, illiterate
Muslim citizens without "proper" documentation. They’ve
never needed it before!
António Guterres,
the Secretary General of the UN, has pledged to fight on
behalf of those who can't: “I will raise my voice. I will take
action. I will use my rights to stand up for your rights.” We
need to hold him to those words because right now the
Bengali Muslims in India have no one to speak for them on the
global stage -- except us. Sign the petition below and
together we can stop a road to genocide in
Assam: Raise the Alarm
The rise of
virulent Hindu nationalism in India is behind this aggressive
move to render millions of Muslims stateless and vulnerable.
History teaches us that these movements know no limits except
the ones citizens set for them. Let’s draw a line in Assam,
and send a message to governments everywhere - we’re
watching. With hope and
determination,
Emma, Nate, Ricken, Antonia,
Flora, Alice, Wissam, Danny and the entire Avaaz
team
