Coalition Against Genocide

Add article description


The Coalition Against Genocide is a coalition of about 40 organisations mostly based in the United States and Canada, as well as individuals, who aim to respond to the 2002 Gujarat riots, which they refer to as the "Gujarat genocide", in order to "demand accountability and justice."[1] The coalition of organisations protested against the visit of Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, to the United States in March 2005.[1] Modi was denied a visa and did not visit the U.S. at that time.[2]

History

Angana Chatterji helped form and worked with the Coalition Against Genocide. The Coalition was subject to much public targeting after some incriminating documents[3] and an anti-Chatterji online petition to the President and Board of Trustees of CIIS appeared.[4]

In July 2008, the coalition again protested against another visit by Modi to the United States, claiming that "the conditions under which he was denied a visa in 2005 remain largely unchanged and the minority community in the state continues to face human rights violations.[5][6][7] Modi was again denied a visa by the United States State Department.[8]
