  1. Attacked at home, Afghan Sikhs find community in New York Amandeep Singh, 12, stands with his family at Guru Nanak Darbar of Long Island, a Sikh gurdwara. An estimated 200 Afghan Sikhs live in Long Island. (John Minchillo / Associated Press) BY DEEPA BHARATH ASSOCIATED PRESS AUG. 30, 2022 1:02 PM PT Kulwinder Singh Soni’s voice quavered as he recounted the day in March 2020 when an Islamic State gunman burst into a Sikh prayer hall in Kabul, hurling grenades and firing assault rifles. Among the 25 people killed were Soni’s father, sister-in-law and 4-year-old niece. Police later warned the family not to attend their funerals because terrorists had planted land mines outside the temple. They were ultimately able to attend, but only after officers did a sweep and cleared them to enter the shrine. “That’s when we decided we needed to leave Afghanistan,” Soni said. “There was absolutely no future for our family in that country.” After a two-year struggle to make an exit, including nearly a year under restored rule of the fundamentalist Taliban group, Soni and 12 family members including his mother, siblings, nieces and nephews, arrived in the United States in July. They are settling in Hicksville, on New York’s Long Island, a community that has come to be a growing refuge for not only Afghan Sikhs but also Hindus, both of them religious minorities that have increasingly suffered discrimination and persecution in their home country. Sikhs and Hindus make up only a tiny fraction of the population of Afghanistan, which is almost entirely Muslim. Under the Taliban in the late 1990s, they were asked to identify themselves by wearing yellow armbands or badges, reminiscent of Nazi Germany, and in recent years they have been repeatedly targeted by extremists. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-08-30/attacked-at-home-afghan-sikhs-find-community-in-new-york
  2. California man charged with hate crime after rant at Taco Bell against Indian man Singh Tejinder, 37, was filmed repeatedly saying "dirty Hindu" and other derogatory comments about the Indian ethnicity and Hindu faith to Krishnan Jayaraman on Aug. 21.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/california-man-charged-hate-crime-rant-taco-bell-indian-man-rcna45463 Jayaraman recorded the tirade that lasted over eight minutes on his phone, capturing the moment Tejinder told him: “You’re disgusting, dog. You look nasty. Don’t come out in public like this again.” In the foul-mouthed rant, Tejinder called him a "dirty Hindu," repeatedly used the N-word, and insinuated Jayaraman didn’t eat meat and yelled “Beef!” in his face. He appeared to spit at Jayaraman twice in the footage. At one point Tejinder was seen saying, "B----, this ain’t India! You f---ed India up, and now you’re f---ing America up.” The Fremont Police Department confirmed the footage to NBC News. Jayaraman said he was frightened by the incident, and was even more upset to later learn the perpetrator was also Indian. “I was scared, to be honest with you. I was infuriated on the one hand, but I was scared that, ‘What if this guy becomes too belligerent and then comes after me?’” he said to NBC Bay Area.

Officers found three victims – ages 32, 28 and 27 – at the Gurdwara Sahib Sikh Temple in Stockton, the police department said. First responders transported all of them to the hospital for what they said appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting happened during an event at the temple around 6:42 p.m. on Saturday, Stockton police spokesperson Joseph Silva said. "A disturbance broke out between the suspects and victims which resulted in an exchange of gunfire," Silva said. Police believe the two male suspects, who were still at large Sunday, are also Sikh. Police did not release any other suspect information as of publication. All three victims are also Sikh, according to police.

  6. @5aaban @Kaurr https://singhstation.net/2022/08/sikh-couple-in-south-australia-faces-deportation/ Sikh couple in South Australia faces deportation BySinghStation August 23, 2022 168 Much loved Goolwa couple Navninder Kaur and Vikramjit Singh face the very real prospect of being torn away from the Fleurieu region they call home and deported to India – a country they say they do not know how to live in – after 18 years as “true blue Australians”. The couple have a long history in Goolwa, a town of about 9,000 at the mouth of the Murray River. Together, they ran the local Indian restaurant for almost five years. Navi Kaur and Vik Singh have been living in Australia for 18 years. During this time they operated an Indian restaurant in Goolwa, South Australia, before Kaur moved into aged care. (Provided by Navi Kaur) When uncertainty over her visa situation forced them to close their restaurant last year, Kaur earned her aged care qualifications while on a bridging visa and worked during the second half of the pandemic for Estia Health. However, the couple have until September 30 to leave the country, or face deportation, after their third request for ministerial intervention was rejected last month. More than 35,000 people have so far signed the couple’s petition asking Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to allow them to stay in Australia. “Australia is home for us. This is where we want to be, where we feel we are meant to be,” Kaur said. When uncertainty over their visa situation forced them to close their restaurant last year, Kaur got her qualifications in aged care, while on a bridging visa, and worked through the second half of the pandemic for Estia Health. However, the couple have been given until September 30 to leave the country, or be deported, after their third application for a ministerial intervention was rejected last month. So far, more than 35,000 people have signed the couple’s petition imploring Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to allow them to stay in Australia. “Prior to working with the family they received poor immigration advice and also had several situations where they were exploited,” he said. To get a permanent Australian visa, Kaur and her husband would have to leave the country, unless Immigration Minister Andrew Giles chose to intervene, Glazbrook said. There was a strong case for the minister to allow the couple to stay, he added. “It is an area that during COVID-19 was considered a critical care sector by the Department of the Interior. “So in that situation, you would think there is some merit in allowing him to remain in Australia working for his employer.” Glazbrook said the case of Navi and her husband was as worthy of intervention as other recent cases that had caught the minister’s interest. Earlier this month, Scottish solar electrician Mark Green and his family were granted a last-minute reprieve from deportation after their case attracted media attention and Australia’s Prime Minister of Sud, Peter Malinauskas, presented his case to Giles. Glazbrook is now preparing another state-of-the-art application for Kaur and her husband to consider their case for ministerial intervention, based on their aged care work, community support and other decisions by recent immigration. Local mayor Keith Parkes as well as Mayo MP Rebekha Sharkie have written letters in support of the couple to Giles. Mr Parkes said he was happy to support the couple who were “well-loved in the community”. “It’s a shame, they’ve come here, they’ve started a good business with a good following and the community has bought them in, they’ve adapted very well to the community.

Lavish Cars grace Soho Road for Pre-Wedding Procession Birmingham’s Soho Road turned into a supercar showcase as several luxury cars graced the road as part of a pre-wedding party procession. August 26, 2022 By DHIREN MANGA their vibrant colours lit up the road and turned heads. Birmingham’s Soho Road was filled with lavish cars as part of a pre-wedding party procession. The busy road is home to shops and businesses but it was the setting for a luxury procession which saw a group of men riding motorbikes and leading the procession. The unnamed men were dressed up for the occasion, sporting sherwanis in dark shades of blue and black. They also wore matching gold jewellery around their necks. Their motorbikes contrasted with one another. One was a scooter, another was a vintage bike and a third was a modern sports bike. They were seen stopping on the side of the road to wait for the rest of the pre-wedding procession. A classic jeep drove down Soho Road. It was in army green and adorned with red, orange and yellow garlands. Several convertible Lamborghini Aventadors were also part of the procession and their vibrant colours lit up the road and turned heads.

Another was in a bold shade of purple while a third was in bright green. All three stopped on the side of the road, showing off the iconic scissor doors. Meanwhile, locals were seen stopping what they were doing to take pictures of the stunning supercars. But unlike the brightly-coloured Lamborghinis, the Rolls-Royce was black. It was a Black Badge edition, which is a more sporty version, designed with enhanced torque, power and control. The four men later posed in front of the purple Aventador, looking proud of the fact that they had just led such a lavish pre-wedding procession. The fleet eventually arrived at the destination. They were parked outside the destination, showcasing their grandeur. Expensive cars are a common feature within modern Asian weddings. Several are hired by family members and are driven in a convoy to the wedding as a way of portraying luxury. This is one example which shows that no expense is spared to ensure that a wedding is a memorable, yet flamboyant event. When it comes to South Asian weddings, competitiveness between families is always a huge thing. Families are always looking to have a bigger wedding than the last person.
  8. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62639233 Jagtar Singh Johal case: UK spy agencies accused of tip-off that led to torture By Frank Gardner BBC security correspondent Published 1 hour ago UK intelligence agencies are accused of tipping off Indian authorities about a British national before his abduction and alleged torture by Punjab police. Jagtar Singh Johal, from Dumbarton, was in India in 2017 when his family say he was forced into an unmarked car. He says he was then tortured over days, including with electrocution. He has remained in detention since then. Successive British prime ministers have raised his case but India's government denies he was tortured or mistreated. In May, Mr Johal was formally charged with conspiracy to commit murder and being a member of a terrorist gang. He will be presented with a full list of the charges against him next month and faces a possible death penalty. Now the human rights group Reprieve has shown the BBC documentation that it says is compelling evidence that his arrest followed a tip-off from British intelligence. Reprieve says it has matched several details relating to his case to a specific claim of mistreatment documented in a report by the watchdog that oversees the intelligence agencies. "In the course of an investigation", says the Investigatory Powers Commissioner's Office (IPCO) report, "MI5 passed intelligence to a liaison partner via the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). "The subject of the intelligence was arrested by the liaison partner in their country. The individual told the British Consular Official that he had been tortured." Mr Johal is not named in the report, but Reprieve's investigators are adamant the facts match his case due to the dates concerned, the lobbying by British prime ministers and supporting evidence detailed in the Indian press. In 2017, the Hindustan Times reported that Mr Johal had "come under the scanner" after "a source in the UK" provided the Punjab police with "vague information" about a key man, "Johal". The Indian authorities accuse Mr Johal of involvement in murders they claim are related to Sikh nationalism, though he denies any wrongdoing.....

August 13, 2022 By RAVINDER KAUR "This movie is a total disgrace" Laal Singh Chaddha, a remake of the popular 1994 film Forrest Gump, has been hit by boycott calls in India. The hashtag ‘#BoycottLaalSinghChaddha’ trended on Twitter, meant to urge the public to not watch the film following Aamir Khan’s comments on “India’s growing intolerance”. Similar calls were raised when the trailer of the film was released in May 2022 as well. Former England cricketer Monty Panesar also joined the bandwagon as he posted a tweet supporting calls for the film’s boycott. Alongside a picture of the film’s poster, Monty Panesar wrote: “Forrest Gump fits in the US Army because the US was recruiting low IQ men to meet requirements for the Vietnam War. “This movie is a total disgrace to India Armed Forces Indian Army and Sikhs!! Disrespectful. Disgraceful. #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha.’ In another tweet, Monty Panesar listed the number of honours given to Sikhs who served in the Indian army.

  16. Preston man jailed following sustained campaign of ‘horrific’ blackmail offences Main article content Navigation News 15:52 10/08/2022 Zeashan Mahmood A 29-year-old man from Preston has today (10 August 2022), been jailed for seven years and three months after he committed blackmail involving two victims over a three-year period. Zeashan Mahmood (DOB 02/06/1992), of Foxtail Close in Clifton, Preston, pleaded guilty to two counts of blackmail and three counts of distributing indecent images with intent to cause distress. During the trial at Preston Crown Court, two victims came forward to testify in the case against Mahmood. One victim told of how she had disclosed private pictures and videos to Mahmood in 2017, when in January 2018, Mahmood told her that he was in financial difficulty and pressured her to send him money. He then contacted her at a later date via Instagram under an alias and threatened her – demanding that she send him more money, or he would share the private pictures and videos online. He also made threats against her loved ones if she did not comply. Fearful that this would happen, the victim sent Mahmood approximately £20,000 in payments. The second victim told the court of how she disclosed to Mahmood an intimate sexual experience she had with a boyfriend. Mahmood subsequently claimed that he had a video of this incident and then demanded £7,000 from her and again threatened that he would send the video to her family and friends if she did not pay the fee. In addition, Mahmood demanded that the victim send intimate pictures, videos and texts of a sexual nature. If she did not do this, he threatened to increase the fee. The defendant told the victim that he needed money to stop the videos from being published. He said the blackmail was part of his involvement in an organised crime group. Mahmood later created more fake Instagram accounts, which he used to message the victim and convince her that his claim was real so that she would continue sending sexual content and money to him. Across a three year period, the victim sent Mahmood in excess of £66,000. Despite the money handed over to Mahmood, he then proceeded to post the videos he'd received of the victim onto the internet, where he encouraged users to share it around. Upon the victim's report to police, the defendant sent Moonpig cards to her address, telling her "money is needed". He also sent emails, stating "guess who is alive" with attachments of sexual images of the victim, threatening to finally expose her further. Mahmood was arrested in February 2021 as part of a joint effort between Greater Manchester Police and Lancashire Police. Detective Constable Brundrett, of GMP Manchester's Criminal Investigation Department, said: "I would like to thank the victims for having the bravery to speak out about this horrific and long-term abuse. "Over three years, Mahmood operated a web of lies and manipulated the victims to get exactly what he wanted, when he wanted. "The severity of these offences should not be underestimated. Today's sentence is much deserved and reaffirms our commitment as police officers to put these perpetrators behind bars and prevent this awful crime from occurring." https://www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater-manchester/news/news/2022/august/preston-blackmailer-sentenced/

Shoichet, CNN Updated 4:59 PM EDT, Thu August 04, 2022 (CNN)Border Patrol agents in Arizona have confiscated the turbans of dozens of Sikh men seeking asylum in the United States, violating their civil rights and government policies, the ACLU says in a letter calling for an end to the practice. Representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union decried what they said were unlawful and "serious religious-freedom violations" and asked US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus to investigate. The letter, sent August 1 and first reported by The Intercept and nonprofit newsroom Arizona Luminaria, alleges that 64 such instances have been reported in the Border Patrol's Yuma sector so far this year -- mostly in the past two months -- by Sikh asylum seekers who were released from custody and sought help at a welcome center in Phoenix.

  20. https://theintercept.com/2022/08/02/sikh-turban-border-patrol/ BORDER PATROL AGENTS ARE TRASHING SIKH ASYLUM-SEEKERS’ TURBANS “The turban is sacred.” At least 64 Sikh men have had their headwear confiscated and discarded by Yuma’s Border Patrol. John Washington August 2 2022, 10:45 a.m. GURJODH SINGH WAS leaning against a rusted vehicle barrier — planted like a giant jack in the sand — at the end of the line of migrants. It is late July, and about 400 people seeking asylum are waiting alongside a gap in the border fence as dawn breaks over the sky in southern Arizona. Singh is 22, fleeing India for America, without any family, to seek political asylum. Slipping off the vehicle barrier, he joined a huddle of five other Indian men, all Sikhs from the state of Punjab. A Border Patrol agent told Singh he had to move to the back of the line because he didn’t have papers. The rest of the men recovered their IDs after being robbed on a grueling monthslong trek across the jungles of Panama, but Singh still has no ID. As the minutes tick by, the sky brightens, and the temperature notches steadily upward, reaching above 110 degrees that day. The men are waiting for the agents to begin their processing and load them onto buses heading to a nearby Border Patrol station. Word has begun circulating among those seeking asylum in the Yuma area: Border Patrol is forcing everyone to throw away all personal belongings, except for cellphones, wallets, and travel documents. Agents are demanding Sikh men remove their turbans and are dumping the sacred religious garb in the trash. Bhupinder, an 18-year-old Sikh man wearing a purple turban, said, simply, “I can’t take it off.” An important expression of Sikh men’s faith is not cutting their hair, and covering their head with a turban. The forced removal and confiscation of turbans violates Border Patrol policies that are meant to respect religious freedom. It also violates policies that require agents to track and return personal belongings. On Monday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona sent a letter to Border Patrol documenting dozens of cases of agents confiscating and discarding turbans, explaining the significance of the item, and how the actions “blatantly violate federal law,” Border Patrol policy, and protections of religious freedom. A month earlier, a third Sikh man seeking asylum said Border Patrol ordered him to turn over his belongings — including two sacred symbols of his faith. “They told me to take off my turban. I know a little English, and I said, ‘It’s my religion.’ But they insisted,” the man said, speaking through an interpreter in a July phone interview. The man pleaded with the officers, who forced him to remove his turban and tossed it in a trash pile. He asked if he could at least keep his turban for when he was released from custody. They told him no. “I felt so bad,” he said. The Border Patrol’s Yuma sector did not respond to repeated requests for comment. In addition to keeping uncut hair, maintained in a head covering, Sikhs, according to their faith, carry a comb; wear a bracelet; wear custom cotton underwear; and carry a small, curved sword or knife. Border Patrol agents also cut a ribbon that was holding up the third asylum-seeker’s traditional Sikh underwear. Since there is no elastic on them, he was unable to continue wearing them. .......... https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22125092-aclu-of-arizona-letter-on-border-patrol-confiscating-sikhs-turbans

Snapchat paedophile Belal Hussain paid the two 'vulnerable' teenagers £15 after engaging in sexual activity with them in a Black Country car park. Police only managed to arrest the 35-year-old after one of the girls took an overdose and revealed all to a nurse while in hospital. She told how she felt sex offender Hussain had 'used her' and how she was left feeling 'gullible' following his sick offending. Hussain - who was locked up last month - has since been branded a 'model prisoner' despite his wife being left heartbroken by his crimes. Followng the incident, the defendant said: "I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for what I have done. I make no excuses, I did wrong." Wolverhampton Crown Court heard how the defendant started talking to the girl on Snapchat before the pair arranged to meet in June last year. On one occassion, she had been drinking and at a second meeting, she seemed 'disheveled' and was not wearing shoes. She told the convict she was 17 and at college, with Hussain lying and telling her he was 27. Hussain continued talking to his victim and eventually started communicating with a second girl. Prosecutor Mr Shakoor said: "The defendant accepted that by that stage he did not have a reasonable belief that they were over 16. Both, in fact, were still in school." The trio decided to meet and Hussain agreed to hand over cash to the 15-year-old girls in exchange for sexual activity. He picked them up in his Mercedes, near to a gym he used in West Bromwich, before driving to a car park behind some flats. The court heard how he then got into the back of his car, where the sex acts took place. Both girls were given £15 and dropped off near a PureGym. No further meetings were organised and communication ended. Details of the trio's encounter emerged after one girl took an overdose and was admitted to hospital two months later. She revealed to a nurse and her aunt what had happened before police arrested Hussain at his West Bromwich home. Mr Shakoor said: "She took the overdose because it was the lowest point she had felt and wanted to kill herself. "The incident still lingers over her." The second girl - previously described as someone 'at risk of sexual exploitation' - had a difficult childhood and significant involvement with social services. She had panic attacks following the sexual encounter, the court was told. Mr Kwong, defending, said Hussain feels a 'sense of shame' and his wife is struggling to deal with his offending.

The 62-year-old, who police say was a 'Sikh priest', still remains in a critical condition after the brutal assault on June 23. Detectives investigating the incident have now released further CCTV images of a man and woman they wish to speak to in relation to the incident. Police had been initially been called to the scene, at 6.30pm, after the man was found unconscious on Tib Street. Paramedics attended and the man was left in a critical condition fighting for his life in hospital. Enquiries found that the victim had been assaulted on Tib Street. Detectives believe the attacker - a male - fled the scene towards Hilton Street, before turning left onto Oldham Street. More than a month on from the attack, police are still investigating and are now urging anyone with any information about the two people pictured to contact them immediately. The force has been 'following up a number of lines of enquiry' including reviewing CCTV footage covering the area. DI Mark Astbury, from Longsight CID, said: “This was an attack on a male who still remains in hospital in critical condition. His family are understandably devastated by the aftermath of the attack and yearning for answers surrounding this. “With his family’s permission, we can now share that the victim is a Sikh priest and we are keeping an open mind in relation to the motivation for this attack. We’ve been following up a number of lines of enquiry since the incident including meticulous CCTV checks and are renewing our appeal for the public’s help.” Detectives wish to speak to this man and woman in relation to the incident
