London Demonstration for Peace in Chittagong Hill Tracts

On Saturday 20th February, an outbreak of violence against the Jumma people of Khagrachari in Rangamati caused the deaths of 4 people, hundreds of homes torched, destruction of a temple and a church, and many dozens still missing.The random violence against the Pahari people has continued unabated.

The oppression of the Jumma people has been going on for decades and incidents of this kind form part of a long-standing conflict.

We urge the end to the attacks and violence against the Jumma people in Bangladesh.

Please come and show your support and solidarity for the Jumma people in Bangladesh.

At the time of the partition of India in August, 1947 non MusIims constituted 98.5% of the population of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, now it is merely 50%, talk about Muslim colonization! The area of CHT should have gained independence from Bangladesh, just like Bangladesh itself! But hey; it is never too late; FREE CHITTAGONG HILL TRACTS!

I appreciate all the People that are standing behind all the Paharis. It is great shame for Bangladesh Govermnment. It seems to be that they dont give a damn about that. If this persists then the Government have pay a damn hefty price. I truly feel for their safety and security has been violated and want answer from the Bangladesh govermment.

sorry for not being able to turn up. it was an event that needed to happen, that needed to show that we are every bit as bad as the people we fought against for our own land and language.
