India: Indian authorities ban anti-junta protest in Delhi

NEW DELHI, 03 August 2022, (TON): Indian authorities withdrew permission at the last moment for a planned demonstration against Myanmar's recent execution of four democracy activists, due to take place at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.

An official from the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw National Unity Government Support India that organised the protest said “today's demonstration had already been approved by Indian’s Delhi police since 27 July. Since that day, I have been in contact with them every day.”

They asked for details of the protest and how many people were participating in the protest and [the authorities said] everything was okay.

But when people were gathering to go to the site of the protest, the police suddenly called us saying that they would no longer allow us to hold the protest.
