Expatriate communities -other nationals living in foreign lands- often take out protest marches and demonstrations to invite the attention of the government towards injustice or rights violations.

Some say expatriates do not have the right to do so. Some others claim that injustice needs to be protested against no matter where it happens.

How do you look at these view points?

With migration becoming more and more popular, many nationals living in foreign countries happen to take out marches against rights violations and injustice. There are differing views on whether it is right to do so. In my opinion, it is right to do so when human rights violations take place. 45 words
To substantiate this, I would like to cite an example on the same that has been reported recently in the media. It is reported that Indian nationals in Malaysia had been suffering from human rights violations ranging from racial and linguistic discriminations. And the Indian community in that place took out marches, and the police suppressed it saying that it is unlawful. But the international community interfered in the issue and it was found that there were cases of human rights violation. It ruled that internationally recognized human rights should not be violated no matter where it takes place. So it is right to take out marches in such occasions. 95 words
When it comes to the view that expatriates have no right to raise their voice, it could be argued that expatriates are supposed to be abiding by the laws and regulations of the land. They need to find out legal and peaceful venues to make their voices heard. That is, it is their duty to keep restrained and try all right channels for inviting attention, instead of jumping into protests. They should not be blinded by the fact that they can protest against anything in the behest of human rights. 95 words
Therefore, I feel that, in this globalized world order, rights violations need to be discouraged by all means. And for the general well being of the guests and hosts, both the parties should show restrained. However, rights violation, wherever it happens, is against humanity. 40 words
