The Nepalese people are rising up for democracy and a new constitution, show your support for them in their fight
To all friends of Nepal, and all friends of democracy and self-determination: Come demonstrate at the Royal Nepalese Embassy alongside Nepalese people living in the UK to show your support for the democracy movement in Nepal!
Since 2002, Nepal has been ruled by a repressive fascist military dictatorship headed by the King, Gyanendra, who is intent on preserving feudalism and repressing dissent at whatever cost to human rights and dignity. Nepal's deep problems of poverty and underdevelopment have not been addressed in spite of decades of political experiments, because these experiments did nothing to empower ordinary people to control their destiny.
Now the Nepali people are fighting to change this. For the last 2 weeks the country has been in a state of general strike and near-insurrection. People from all walks of life are calling for the creation of a true democracy in Nepal, the overthrow of the king and the military dictatorship, and an end to corruption in their own ranks.
THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT. Now more than ever, pressure must be put on the international community to support the Nepalese people. Now more than ever, pressure must be put on Gyanendra's regime to show them that they are not the legitimate government of Nepal. That regime's local office in London is the Nepalese embassy.
The demonstration will take place in front of the Nepalese embassy at 12:30pm on Tuesday the 25th of April. The embassy address is 12a Kensington Palace Gardens, and the nearest underground station is Notting Hill Gate. Please bring as many people as you can, and spread the word!
