Members of the Birmingham Stop the War Coalition marched from Victoria Square in Birmingham to the Indian Consulate in Jewellery Quarter this afternoon.
Fighting for freedom-members of the coalition gathered in their hundreds
Set up in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attack, the Stop the War Coalition marched through Birmingham as their efforts continue in the fight for the freedom of Kashmir.
Kashmir is situated on the northernmost part of the Indian subcontinent and has been at the centre of conflict between India and Pakistan, who both claim it as their territory.
In the lead up to both the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy and their own founding, the march was a display of their stance on not only freedom for Kashmir, but for all countries embroiled in conflict between occupying nations.
Yusuf Farouk, community human rights activist, had this to say:
"The right to self determination must be given to all people and we will continue our fight until the Kashmiri people and all people around the world fighting for freedom are given freedom from occupation"

When asked what this will mean for Kashmir, the Taliban called it a "bilateral and an internal matter", according to news agency ANI on Twitter
