LONDON: The demonstration organized by P.H.R.O. (U.K) outside the offices of the United Nations (London) are of Human Rights, was an unqualified success. This is the first time that Sikh Organizations of every political hue and color combined together under one flag.
The President and the Vice president of P.H.R.O. (U.K) Barrister Harjit Singh and Barrister Maluk Singh Chuhan presented a petition in the presence of Narinderjit Singh, Surinder Singh Bhau, Gurmej Singh Babbar, Bhai Balvir Singh Babbar, Surain Singh, Amrik Singh Gill, Dr. Jagjit Singh Chuahan and Manmohan Singh to the Director of the Commission, who promised to send the petition to their head office in Geneva for immediate action.
The petition calls upon The United Nations to dedicate their Human Rights Day to the vindication of Sikh human rights. It also calls upon the Human Rights Commission in Geneva to take follow-up action on the indictment of the Government of India for Sikh human rights violations preferred by the Commission in April 1990. The Government of India has been dilly-dallying over its response.
The petition drew the Commissions attention to the atrocious: crimes being committed in Punjab by the Indian security forces.
