Delhi Police has been repeatedly shutting down all spaces for Tibetans to exercise the right to peaceful protest during the visit of Chinese leaders, thus denying the basic fundamental right to free expression through peaceful protest as guaranteed by the Constitution of India. In response to this, under the name of Rashi Jauhri SFT-India member, we filed a case at the Delhi High Court to not just grant permission for peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar, but at any location that is close enough for the visiting Chinese leader (Xi Jinping) to hear and see the peaceful expression of protest by Tibetans and Indian supporters. The case is in process, and we expect the High Courts order tomorrow. If passed, this is a landmark judgement in safeguarding the fundamental right to peaceful protest of not just for Tibetans, but every citizen of India.
