We, associations of inhabitants, international networks, voluntary groups, NGOs, public agencies, citizens of the world,

express our indignation and denounce the massive forced evictions, carried out by the government of Tamil Nadu, India, from 23 November 2006, rendering around 30,000 people homeless in Chennai, including around 5,000 students. Three people died, among them a three-year-old girl who fell into the water.

A further million evictions are waiting to happen all over the state of Tamil Nadu to clear all encroachments on Government land.

A group of journalists from the capital city of Bangladesh has formed an organisation titled JHR-B to work for housing rights of the people.
