Such sacrifices by these defenders of the faith and yet they are rotting in Hindustani jails without many of us even acknowledging their existance !!! I hope we can remember these living shaheeds in our daily prayers and more so their long suffering families . DO NOT FORGET THEM, YOU ARE THE ONLY HOPE THEY HAVE....

The Sikh Organisation for Prisoner Welfare is the ONLY charity in the world whose sole mandate is the support and assistance Of Sikh Prisoners in India. Many do not know this but hundreds of Sikhs still languish behind bars in jail from the 80s when many soldiers who dropped out the army refusing to attack their fellow Sikhs were court martialled and sent indefinitely to jail, the few hundred that remain in prison also account for a tiny percentage of the thousands of the youths who disappeared from the land of Punjab. This charity was set up and is run by Bhai Balbir Singh who was abducted by the Indian police and tortured spending many years in jail away from his young family in the UK. Only owing to his British residence, pressure from UK MPs was he finally released a few years ago.

We need help from graphic designers, video editors, web designers to help create a website for the Sikh prisoners charity which will track the progress and support of the prisoners they look after. And also improve the Khalsa aid website so that the right features are highlighted well etc. Due to the ongoing politics in most our Gurudawaras, these websites will be the sole means of contact with the sangat so they need to convey information professionally.

We also appeal to all members of the sangat for help, your assistance could be fundraising at local gurudawaras, universities or college or through any other skills or abilities you have. All you need to make a difference is the passion and interest for this cause.
