To quote (but do visit the URL) from that post:

"We extend a very warm thanks;

It rained, hailed and at times became very windy, all of this combined did not have enough strength to break the courage of the individuals in Ontario who wanted to make a difference in the fight against abolishing the death penalty. All of the 8 Ontario protests faced harsh weather conditions; however, this did not stop the determined and passionate individuals. I would like to formally thank all of the individuals that participated and supported the fight against abolishing the death penalty and for the release of the innocent Professor Davinderpal Singh Bhullar. We would like to mark the outstanding efforts of protest organizers at each city locations, with their hard work and dedication we were able to make this event a national success. Outlining the importance of freeing innocent individuals is a battle that cannot stop here; these protests marked the beginning of a battle to free the innocent and to abolish barbaric torture and death penalty practices across the world. We thank the Sikh Federation (UK) for provoking thought and inspiring young individuals all across the world. We would like to thank the affiliate Sikh Student Associations; U of T (Mississauga), Ryerson University, York University, University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario, University of Waterloo, University of Guelph, University of Ottawa, University of Queens, University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University for their hard work in organizing the protests for their respective communities in Canada. We would like to encourage everyone to join the petition campaign below to strengthen our battle against freeing an innocent man and abolishing the death penalty.

We would like to thank:

Erindale Campus Students Union, Students Admin Council U of T, United Sikh Federation, Sikh Federation (UK), Amnesty Intl, World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, and other organizations who we have supported us from day one.

Sincerely,

Jasdev Singh

Canadian Organization of Sikh Students "

Despite the conditions they turned up - that is the Sikh Spirit.

For those who didn't or couldn't - maybe next time?

Hopefully the GOI will see these pics and articles and come to their senses and release the innocent detainees and stop the inhuman torture and human rights abuses.
