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.

gurbaksh_singh_khalsa.jpegThe organization has written a letter to the Director of the Amnesty International, whose mandate is protection of prisoners rights to initiate a campaign not only for the release of the six detainees whose release is sought by Gurbaksh Singh through his hunger strike, but also to save his "precious" life

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.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
