Members of the Indian community held peaceful protests in front of the GPO at O’Connell Street, Dublin, Monday.Dublin: The brutal incident of rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, has sent shock waves across the globe. From the streets of New York to the IMF chief's office in Washington, the incident has been forcing people to sit up and join the calls for justice.
Latest to join in the protest is a set of Indians in the Irish city of Dublin.
The group, including Keralites, held peaceful protests in front of the GPO at O’Connell Street, Dublin, on Monday, demanding swift justice for the minor girl who was gangraped by six men and then murdered in Kathua.
The protesters displayed banners and posters with calls for justice.
“We need to let Mr Modi, the Indian prime minister, know that the world is watching and that justice should prevail for the minor and all other victims of rape in India,” a statement on their FB page said.
They also raised their voice for the 17-year-old rape victim from Unnao in Uttar Pradesh. An MLA of the ruling BJP has been arrested in connection with the incident, which is being probed by the CBI.
“This is not about Haryana Or Uttar Pradesh or Jammu and Kashmir. This is to express great anguish from the Irish community to the Indian government over the unjustifiable delay in bringing the perpetrators of this heinous sexual crime to justice. This is a message to India to protect and treat its daughters in a dignified and fair manner. We want justice, equality and safety for all women and girls in India," the members said on the FB page.
