墨尔本印度移民再遭种族攻击70多人参与围殴

THE Victorian Police are under pressure to explain why they failed to release details of an assault on four Indian men by an angry mob outside a nightspot in Melbourne's northern suburbs until four days after the attack.The Times of India reported that members of Melbourne's Indian community had been “brutally bashed” by 70 locals.

据2009年9月16日《澳洲人报》报道，9月12日上周六深夜11点，印度籍男子Sukhdip Singh和哥哥Gurdeep Singh，叔叔Mukhtair Singh等4人在墨尔本东北区Epping的High Street一个酒吧里打台球，酒吧内有一名女子和一大伙同伴正在庆祝生日。忽然，这伙人开始用种族主义蔑称辱骂四名印度人。受害人为息事宁人，离开了酒吧，但这伙人仍不肯善罢甘休，一直跟着他们到停车场，并大打出手。

据报道，参与这起极种族攻击的澳洲当地人数量多达70人。受害者的一名亲人告诉媒体，这些20岁左右的暴徒们边殴打还边大喊着“印度佬，滚回你们的国家去”。
