HUMAN RIGHTS DIVISION UNITED NATION

Amnesty International London

The World Sikh Organization seeks your intervention to save the lives of Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh, ordered to hang in India for Indira Gandhi’s assassination.

The circumstances leading to her assassination are surrounded by massive confusion. Also, the trial was motivated by political and religious consideration.

It is only through bodies like yours that some resolution can be found to save lives, and resolve Punjab crisis.

Yours Sincerely,

Gian Singh Sandhu

International President WSO
