Coalition Against Genocide, is holding a candlelight vigil on Saturday, March 3, 2012, in New York City, to mark the tenth anniversary of the anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat, India, and to highlight the continued suffering of the 2002 victims. 

Ten years after the brutal rapes, and vicious murders of thousands of innocent Muslim civilians, creating many orphans, most of the perpetrators openly walk the streets of India, making a mockery of India’s justice system. Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, who allowed the anti-Muslim violence to continue unabated for several days, and who has destroyed crucial government records, in an attempt to cover-up his misdeeds, has yet to be prosecuted for his crimes against humanity. The Coalition Against genocide was instrumental in getting the diplomatic visa to the US revoked, thereby derailing his campaign to become India's Prime minister.

WHAT: Candlelight Vigil

Indian American Leaders from various communities will address the gathering, and demand the culprits be brought to justice.
