Dear …. (Insert MP’s name)

Re: EDM 523 - Arrest And Detention Of Paramjit Singh In The Punjab

I am writing to you regarding Paramjit Singh, a British Citizen who has been detained for one year in Punjab, India on false charges. Paramjit's MP - Ken Purchase has tabled Early Day Motion 523 (see below). It is good that the Foreign Office helped Mrs Gillian Gibbons in Sudan and i request such attention is also given to Mr Singh. Please support EDM 523 and look into the case of Paramjit Singh to see where you can relay my serious concerns.

Early Day Motion 523:

That this House notes the many and continuing representations to the Foreign Secretary made by British Sikhs on behalf of Paramjit Singh, a British citizen; notes that his detention in the Punjab has now continued for one year causing great concern for his safety; is dismayed that the Foreign Secretary has not given the same expeditious consideration to Paramjit's detention in a Punjab prison as he appears to have given to the plight of Ms Gibbons in a Sudanese prison; and, in the absence of the Punjab authorities providing any credible explanation for Paramjit's detention, calls on the Government to press for his immediate release.
