July 1: Amnesty International Nepal organised a rally in front of the Embassy of the USA in Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, on Saturday, June 30, to protest against President Donald Trump’s immigration policy that separates children from their parents.

Amnesty International said in a statement that it marked June 30 as the Global Day of Action against this ‘inhumane’ practice by organising mass demonstrations at the White House in Washington DC and the US embassies in different parts of the world.

Here in Kathmandu, human rights activists along with Amnesty Nepal members began their rally at 9 am from Narayan Gopal Chowk, Chakrapath and traversed to Teaching Hospital via the US Embassy. The rally later converged into a gathering outside the embassy where Amnesty International Nepal Chair Rajan Kuikel criticised Trump’s immigration policy and demanded improvements in it. Kuikel and Director Nirajan Thapaliya then handed over a memorandum to the US Embassy.

Amnesty International said it has been protesting the Trump administration’s policy of separating children from their parents when crossing the southern border from Mexico. It has already collected more than 100,000 signatures on petitions asking the US government to stop this practice. Amnesty Ireland, Canada, and Sweden are all taking actions to hold the Trump administration accountable.

"People all around the world are still outraged about the practices of family separation and detention, despite the recent Executive Order. The Executive Order does nothing to reunify families, still leaves open the possibility of separating families, and mandates the detention of children with their parents instead," the statement said.
