Sikh Rights Group Supports US Prosecution Of Indian Diplomate

��Impunity Represents a Challenge In India� -�UN Special Rapporteur 2013 Report�

�Sikhs For Justice,� a US based human rights group while supporting the prosecution of Indian deputy counsel general Devyani Khobragade, welcomed the 2013 report of the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, which highlights that impunity represents a major challenge in India. Mr. Christof Heyns, Special Rapporteur who visited India in 2012, presented the report to UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), recommended �a series of legal reforms and policy measures aimed at fighting impunity and decreasing the level of unlawful killings in India�.

�Ms. Khobragade should be tried in the US Court as, we are in a country where law of land is supreme and immunity to anyone based on their official position is unacceptable�, stated Sikh Rights group legal advisor Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who practices international law in New York. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh continues to provide impunity in India to its cabinet members like Kamal Nath and other leaders who lead death squads in November 1984 to kill Sikhs, and now by demanding immunity for Khobragade from US government, have started expanding its nefarious �Wings of Impunity� in foreign countries as well, added attorney Pannun.
