“Dal Khalsa appeals to those who stand for protection of human rights to be present in court on August 17 at 12.30 pm, to listen to the historic verdict which is a rare legal occurrence as the two activists have already served life sentences in the hijacking case in Pakistan from 1981 to 1994”, said Kanwarpal Singh. We urge Justice lovers to express their solidarity with the two accused and Dal Khalsa with their presence over there, added he.
The present fresh charges of “waging war against the state” were framed against both in May. It challenges the legal concept of double jeopardy and is a travesty of justice heaped upon the accused after three and a half decades, said he.
