Mumbai and human rights

Dear BuildBurma.org members and friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to you as our friends and family in Mumbai, India witness the devastation of their beloved city.

In the midst of these terrorist attacks, civilians have been killed and harmed, and their basic human rights have been violated.

And whether it is in Myanmar or Mumbai or any other part of the world, we must always stand together to fight for justice and against the violation of our right to live.

Smriti Mundhra, one of our core members, is in Mumbai right now, in the heart of the attacks, and has been keeping us updated on the situation through the night.

We pray for her and her family's safety and that the attacks end soon. Tomorrow will be a new day as the dust settles by the Taj hotel and the Gateway of India, and we hope for the recovery of the city and its people.

Please visit BuildBurma.org for updates on the situation in Myanmar and please visit the website of our partner, Alertnet.org, for regular updates on Mumbai and other humanitarian issues.

Warm regards,
Shruti
