Nepalis staying in the United Kingdom have organised a rally in Reading city in support of the ongoing pro-democracy movement of the seven-party alliance.

Nepali students and professionals living in different cities in the UK assembled at Berkshire, the city centre of Reading, on Thursday and expressed solidarity to the ongoing movement in Nepal.

They displayed banners and placards that read “End Autocracy: Support Democratic Movement in Nepal”.

The rally was organised by Nepali Alliance of Democratic Republic.

“At this moment we appeal to all peace-loving and democratic people to extend solidarity to the ongoing democratic movement in Nepal. We also appeal to the international community to exert pressure on the autocratic royal regime to return power to the people,” Rosy G.C, an MA student at Reading University, told Nepalnews, quoting the participants.

“Nepalis based in UK are very concerned about the deteriorating political scenario in Nepal. Unless democracy is restored peace will remain elusive,” she said, informing that more than 150 Nepalis based in UK participated in the rally. nepalnews.com mk Apr 14 06
