Candle-light protest against murder of Sr. Valsa John, SCJM

  21 November,2011

(CBCI News): A candle-light protest was held in New Delhi, November 18 to protest against the murder of tribal rights activist Sr. Valsa John, SCJM. 

Sr. Valsa John was murdered in Jharkhand on November 15. Her killing appears to be part of the larger conspiracy to keep the tribals excluded, marginalized and dehumanized by the oppressive, exploitative and anti-life forces in the country.   

The march, held outside Delhi’s Sacred Heart Cathedral was attended by over 100 prelates, priests, nuns and laity. The gathering sang hymns and paid tribute to Sr. Valsa John.
