The views expressed in Aliran's media statements and the NGO statements we have endorsed reflect Aliran's official stand. Views and opinions expressed in other pieces published here do not necessarily reflect Aliran's official position.
Why is Mamdani not vocal on Sudan, when there is a genocide taking placing there? Why is he not vocal on Ukriane? Why is he not vocal Myanmar? Hope Aliran does not over glorify him?
Aliran remained conspicuously silent on 4 June 2025 which was the 36th. anniversary of the Tiananmen Square riots? Any reason why? But Aliran has had critical articles on India, the world’s largest democracy.
