Ludhiana (August 14, 2010): Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a US based human rights group announced that Supreme Court’s decision proves that victims of Sikh Genocide (1984-98) will not get any justice from Indian system and victims should seek reprieve from International forums. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor to SFJ announced that during the upcoming UN General Assembly session in New York, their organization will present a memorandum to the UN highlighting the denial of justice in India to victims of Sikhs Genocide (1984-98); continued human rights violations; and Indian Judiciary’s open collaboration in denial of justice to religious minorities of India, specially Sikhs.
Attorney Pannun further stated that during upcoming U.N. general assembly session, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should not be allowed to speak at the UN because of India’s despicable record on human rights. SFJ will hold a “Justice Rally” outside UN Building in New York during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to UN. According to attorney Pannun, aim of the “justice rally” will be to urge the attendees of the UN general assembly to confront PM Singh on India’s record of human rights and continuous denial of justice to victims of Sikh Genocide 1984-98.
