STATEMENT — Today, Hindu extremists in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka, and other Indian states attacked Muslims & their places of worship.

These large-scale, well-orchestrated attacks serve as a precursor to the full-blown genocide.

#StopIndianMuslimGenocide
IAMC urges the international human rights organizations & civil society groups to take note of the deteriorating situation and ask the Indian government to take immediate steps to protect country’s 200 million Muslims
IAMC also calls on the US Department of State (@StateDept) and Secretary Anthony Blinken (@SecBlinken) to implement @USCIRF’s recommendation of designating India as Country of Particular Concern (CPC)

Modi himself is a fascist, who is allowing for policies across India to target minority groups: @lsarsour
We cannot allow our government to continue to align with a government like Modi's. We have to be consistent in the way that we criticize authoritarian regimes across the world. And Modi has no interest in uniting Indians, in bringing people together: @lsarsour
I'm watching women being victims of violence for choosing to be Muslims, for being able to practice their religion freely in a country like India: @lsarsour

.@Hindus4HR & @IAMCouncil welcomed the release of renowned HR defender & lawyer Sudha Bharadwaj on Dec 9 after being incarcerated for more than 3years without trial.

We also reiterate demand for release of Umar Khalid, @KSaifi, Sharjeel Imam & hundreds of other Muslims. 1/n
Ms. Bharadwaj’s release from prison rekindles the ever waning hope in the Indian judiciary’s ability to withstand fascist pressures from the Indian government that has falsely accused and jailed tens of thousands of human rights defenders,...... 2/n
........students, farmers, lawyers, and journalists, many of whom come from religious minority and caste-oppressed communities such as Muslims, Christians and Dalits. 3/n

A coalition of 22 human rights organizations have sent a letter to @SecBlinken over his refusal to designate India as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) as recommended by the @USCIRF. 1/n

iamc.com/22-organizatio…
For the last two years, in 2020 and in 2021, @USCIRF has noted that the Indian government has been “engaging in and tolerating systematic, ongoing, and egregious religious freedom violations, as defined by the International Religious Freedom Act (IRA).” 2/n
In recognition of this situation, the @USCIRF recommended in its 2020 & 2021 annual reports that the @StateDept declare India as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Despite these recommendations, @SecBlinken refused to designate India as a CPC in his Nov 15 announcement. 3/n

34 international multi-faith human rights NGOs have written a letter to @POTUS & @VP expressing deep concern that #SummitforDemocracy will ignore widespread HR violations & persecution of minorities in India as govt devolves from democracy to fascism.

iamc.com/bidens-summit-…
The letter provides details and indisputable facts for 14 instances in which democracy is under attack or being abused by the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and members of his BJP/RSS party.
The letter expresses regret that more members of international civil society were not included in planning for the summit, & those who were involved were warned that specific instances of member nations’ internal affairs, abuses, discrimination & persecution will be off limits.

“ Hindu nationalism is a political ideology that advocates for Hindu supremacy and the exclusion of members of other Indian religious groups from equal participation in society, originally in India and, increasingly, in the United States” ~ @RutgersU’s @AudreyTruschke
“For more than 5 years, I have received hate mail from Hindu supremacists every single day. I have been target of so many death and rape threats that I have lost count. Last week a threat was made on a general Rutgers phone number by a man spouting Hindu supremacist rhetoric.”
“My family, too, have been threatened with all manner of violence, including my children who are currently ages 7, 5, and 3. I often require armed security when I speak publicly, whether about modern South Asia or ancient Indian history.”

“There is an attempt by Hindu nationalist organizations and individuals to influence, limit and distort debates and teaching on US university campuses around Indian history, Hinduism and contemporary politics in India” ~ @Stanford professor Thomas Blom Hansen
“RSS was never part of the nationalist movement, never supported India’s democratic constitution, was banned three times since 1948, including for complicity in the murder of Gandhi” ~ Prof #ThomasBlomHansen
“In the 1990s, I and others who published and spoke on the RSS movement and its ideology, were routinely subjected to some amount of heckling from audience members” ~ @Stanford professor Thomas Blom Hansen
