India: Mourners Protest Trump at Funeral of Srinivas Kuchibhotla

HeadlineMar 01, 2017

In India, crowds of people protested against Donald Trump at the funeral of 32-year-old Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an aviation engineer who was shot and killed by a white man in Kansas last week. Navy veteran Adam Purinton reportedly yelled “Get out of my country!” before opening fire on Kuchibhotla and his friend, who was wounded. Purinton apparently thought the two Indian men were Iranian. Purinton is white. At the funeral in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad, mourners chanted “Down with Trump” and held up signs reading “Down with Racism.”
