LONDON, (MANEND NEWS): Tehreek-e-Kashmir and it’s supporters
started their journey on Friday 11th June 2021 from Birmingham and
other parts of UK on the call of the TEK UK President Raja Fahim
Kayani to attend the 3 protests over the 3 days taking place due to the
G7 Summit at Cornwall with the determination to create an deep
impact on an international level to be heard. Coaches and
accommodations plus food was arranged for the participants from
11th-13th June 2021.
The participants took part in the main protest on Saturday in favour of
Kashmir and Palestine. Many other parties, organisations, leaders and
Humans Rights Activists were present who demanded peace in the
world specially these regions and the end of occupation. They also
demanded UK and countries taking part in G7 to stop making arms
and to supply them to Israel and India to commit genocide and
atrocities. They also reminded them they were one of the permanent
members in the United Nations so should use their influence to stop
the illegal occupation and continued atrocities from decades not sell or
provide arms. The protest started from one end with thousands of
participants and ended on the other end as the beach. Some even
protested in the sea with flags of peace, Kashmir, Palestine, speakers
and drums to be heard.
Many media people attended the protests for courage on an
international level but they faced the same issue like others the
network wasn’t working in Cornwall or made limited due to security
reasons but it wasn’t announced. People couldn’t call or text much via
Data or WiFi services but loading or uploading was a great issue so
many had to return home to upload the coverage from the weekend.
The weather was very warm and ideal to protest on a world famous
beaches like Cornwall although the sun burns effected many still it
didn’t stop the participants from protesting over the 3 days 11th-13th
June 2021.
Many times during the protests coaches were stopped by the police,
there were long queues as the police were searching for anarchists and
trouble makers which caused delays when Kashmiris and Palestinians
were only there to protest peacefully against the Indian and Zionist
oppression. On the protest day 12th June 2021 a rally took place at
the town of Hayle in Cornwall, where many Kashmiris, Palestinians,
Stop the War Coalition, Trade Unionists and other Human Rights
Activists spoke in support of the struggle of the Kashmiris and
Palestinians. A coach from Derby was diverted by the Police to a town
called Falmouth in Cornwall and they joined a protest with African
Comrades which was covered by BBC first time in history.
