12 Nov.2003, Brussels / The World People’s Resistance Movement, Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg ) and the STOP USA ( a platform of more than 50 organizations) staged a protest rally in front of the Indian Embassy, in Brussels demanding immediate release of Comrade Gaurav, a political bureau member of the CPN(Maoist), and handed over a memorandum to the Indian Prime minister, Mr. Atal Bihari Bajpayee through ambassador.

In that protest programme Dr. An Muylaert, on behalf of the STOP USA, said, “Since the end of the cease fire in August, the American ambassador granted himself flagrant unacceptable interference in this internal conflict”. She further said, “It is also unacceptable for us that US sent hundreds of military advisors to Nepal. We don’t accept any interference of the United States in the internal affairs of a sovereign country. We do not accept false excuses as fight against terrorism, liberation and installing democracy. Not the kind of democracy of the US at least.”

Accordingly on the programme, on behalf of the Workers Party of Belgium, spokesperson Dr. Kris Merks highlighted the recent development on the brutality of reactionary regime of Nepal and demanded immediate and unconditional release of Comrade Gaurav, by handing over a memorandum to the Indian Embassy.
