Protest At Indian High Commission In London

"‘Invisible’ demonstrators from Survival International today targeted the Indian High Commission in London.

The protesters – holding blank placards and banners and spelling out the word ‘invisible’ – were drawing attention to the Indian government’s decision to permit British company Vedanta Resources to mine land sacred to the Dongria Kondh tribe. The government has treated the Dongria as invisible, ignoring their views.

The Dongria are vehemenently opposed to the mine on their sacred mountain and today submitted an appeal to the government in Delhi. In London, the protestors echoed their pleas to be heard by the government."
