To the UN Secretary General and the whole international community:
We urge you to issue an early warning about the publication of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam State in India -- which could* lead to mass violence, ethnic cleansing, and the transfer of minority Muslims to prison camps for life. As global citizens we ask that the UN and other concerned governments work with India and Bangladesh to ensure there is scrutiny over the NRC process, that it complies with human rights standards, and that no one is left stateless.
India: Stop deleting Muslims!
1,000,000
811,278
811,278 have signed. Let's get to 1,000,000
Posted: 12 July 2018
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.
