this a petition to get the -INDIAN GOVERNMENT- to Publicly and officially acknowledge the racially motivated crime committed against a young African student, in JALANDHAR, INDIA. Yannick Nihangaza, the Burundian student was beaten, stoned and left for dead two months ago by 7 men. To date only 2 men have been arrested so far and none of them have been charged.Yannick has been in a coma since the attack, and the Punjab officials keep ignoring the father's request for a legal investigation and financial support.

-pledging to bring all the 7 men involved to justice
-bring full financial support to the victim and his family
-and Finally by vowing to protect and prevent all african students from racially motivated crimes.

To all Burundians and other Nationalities, without regard to where you are or from, please start writing to Indian Representatives and high commissions and get them involved.

Yannick remains in a coma while the perpetrators walk free. We are escalating this to every embassy we can reach.

SO FURIOUS right now. This is pure racism and it makes me sick. Keep fighting for him!
Unbelievable that they havent charged everyone yet. Seems like they are trying to sweep it under the rug. Not ok.
This is completely heartbreaking. Praying for yannick and his family. India needs to do the right thing for once and catch all these guys.
This could happen to anyone studying abroad. Safety should be guaranteed. Get this boy the help he needs.
What happened to this student is unforgivable. Sending love to his father.

Where is the justice? Letting 5 of the attackers walk free while that poor boy is in a coma is an absolute disgrace. The government needs to wake up.
