More than 5,000 protesters gathered in Parliament Square in the British capital and marched to the High Commission of India to protest the oppression of Kashmir at the hands of Indian security forces.<\/p>\n

Several local and Kashmir organizations had asked activists and supporters from all over England to come to London and join the protest against the revocation of Article 370 of the Indian constitution, which granted special autonomy to occupied Kashmir.<\/p>\n

Protesters carrying banners and waving Kashmir flags chanted slogans of "Terrorist Terrorist, Modi is a Terrorist!" Y "Hum chheen kay lain gay – azaadi!<\/em>"(We will take by force – freedom!). According to reports, some protesters also threw eggs and tomatoes into the high commission building.<\/p>\n
