Dear [WRITE NAME]

I am emailing you in regards to Gurbakash Singh Khalsa, age 43, who has been on a hunger strike since November 14, 2013.  He is aiming to bring awareness to and seek the release of 6 Sikhs who have completed their jail sentences but have not been released by Indian State Governments.  Despite having adopted peaceful methods to spread his message, he was unlawfully arrested by the Punjab Police but later released considering his deteriorating health.

I am requesting you to press the Government of India and Punjab to consider the appeal by Gurbaksh Singh.  His demands are just as he is only seeking the release of persons who have already completed their sentences.

Gurbaksh Singh’s hunger strike is continuing at Gurdwara Amb Sahib, located in Mohali, Punjab, India.
