Arrest the killers of Gauri Lankesh
Pahalgam September 06,2017: HWO deeply anguished at the assassination of Gauri Lankesh, noted journalist and intrepid activist. We condemn in the strongest terms possible this act of cowardice by her killers who wish to spread fear and suppress dissent.
It is well-known that Gauri Lankesh had consistently opposed right-wing forces, despite the threats and court cases she had to face. As the editor of ‘Lankesh Patrike’, a Kannada weekly, she had continued to raise her voice against communalism and casteism.
We demand immediate arrest of those behind the assassination.
In solidarity,
Team -HWO
