NEW YORK—To internationalize illegal extradition and continuous torture on Sikh nationalist Jagtar Singh Tara, right group “Sikhs For Justice” (SFJ) is holding assemblages on February 9 at Thai Embassies in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand and European countries.
On February 09, Thai officials in New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Ottawa, Vancouver, London, Berlin, Brussels and Melbourne are meeting with members of the Sikh community. SFJ will be submitting a demand letter to Thai Embassies on wrongful handing over of Tara to India in violation of Thai Extradition and protection under UN Convention Against Torture.
Attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor to SFJ stated that “Since Tara is being tortured and framed in false criminal cases by Badal regime to suppress the “Sikh Nationalist” movement of which Tara is an icon, we will apprise the Thai authorities about ongoing violation of the terms of Tara’s extradition”. Under the UN guidelines and international laws, a receiving country cannot violate the terms of the extradition, added Pannun.
