Campaign led by Sikh Channel MAY 16th 1pm - 4pm

Join the protest on Downing Street to show support for Sikhs in Dubai, and oppose the death penalty. Sikh Channel needs your participation to help save the lives of these men on Sunday 16th May, from 1pm-4pm. Sikhs from around the UK are protesting to help save the lives of 17 young men. Support is anticipated from across the wider community in opposition to the Death Penalty. Indian NGO Lawyers for Human Rights International (LFHRI) released information that has left the Sikh community in shock; CCTV footage used in court against these men has been forged. Further to this the 17 men have been tortured, beaten with clubs, subjected to electric shocks, deprived of sleep until forced to confess to the murder of a man in Dubai, The Sikh religion has been mocked and slandered according to LFHRI. The lawyers who spoke to the tortured men heard how the officials in Sharjah jail made the prisoners stamp on religious bracelets and necklaces until they broke into pieces, then torment the men about what their God is doing for them. The London members of the Sikh Channel Advisory Board are leading the campaign to ensure that these men in Dubai are not forgotten and are given basic human rights to a fair trial. The international community must not turn a blind eye to what is happening in the Middle East. To show your support, and seek true justice join the protest next Sunday 16th on Downing Street, from 1pm-4pm. Sikh Temples around the UK are urged to provide coaches to Victoria Embankment for the community to participate in the protest.
