Dal Khalsa Writes to Amnesty International December 18, 2013 by IP Singh

JALANDHAR: Upset over the silence of the government in redressing the prisoners' issues and apprehensive over the life of Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa, who is fasting for the last 35 days demanding release of Sikh detainees who have completed tehri jail terms, Sikh organization Dal Khalsa has knocked on the doors of Amnesty International urging it to intervene without delay.

Dal Khalsa president H S Dhami and spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh said while Gurbakash Singh had steadfastly maintained his grit and determination despite falling health, the Indian state seemed to be waiting in the wings to either let him die or to force-feed him as they did some days back.

The three-page letter sent to Amnesty's London office further stated that the government of Punjab continued to pay lip service and express sympathy without waking up from deep slumber. "It is a classic case of lethargic executive insomnia and nonchalance," they added. Gurbaksh Singh is fasting to death since November 14, at Gurdwara Amb Sahib, Mohali, seeking the release of six Sikh prisoners who have not been released despite serving their sentences.

The Dal Khalsa leaders has sent a prisoners' bio-sheet to Amnesty detailing the status report of Gurmeet Singh, Lakhwinder Singh and Shamsher Singh (all in Burial jail), Gurdeep Singh (Karnataka jail), Lal Singh (case with Gujarat government) and Waryam Singh (Uttar Pradesh jail).

Sikh Groups seek intervention of UN, Amnesty International to secure release of detainees CHANDER SUTA DOGRA

Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and the All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) have approached the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions to secure the release of former Sikh militants who continue to be detained after the expiry of their prison term.

In an urgent appeal addressed to Malick Sow, Chair-Rapporteur for UN “Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions” and Ivan Šimonović, Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights, the SFJ has urged the UN body to persuade India and secure the release of the six prisoners and the life of Sikh activist Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa — who is sitting on a fast unto death for their release.

Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa has been on a hunger strike since November 14 for securing the release of Gurmeet Singh, Lakhwinder Singh, Shamsher Singh, Lal Singh, Wariam Singh and Gurdeep Singh Khaira lodged in different jails in the country.

“Continued arbitrary detention of Sikh prisoners beyond the sentence period exposes the bias towards Sikhs who are minority in India. On one hand, the Indian system failed to prosecute those who committed genocidal attacks on Sikhs during November 1984. While on the other hand, Sikh activists continue to face arbitrary detentions without any charges,” said Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor to SFJ.

The Sikhs groups have also initiated a social media campaign asking the community to email UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions to push for the release of these prisoners.

Meanwhile, another radical Sikh group Dal Khalsa has written a letter to Amnesty International seeking its help for the release of these prisoners. In a statement issued in Chandigarh, the organisations said that the government is paying lip service to the matter without doing anything substantial. It has also sent a prisoner’s bio sheet to Amnesty detailing the status report of the prisoners.
