WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Demand The Release of Supreme Religious Leader of Sikhism, Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara, Head of Sri Akal Takhat
On Nov 10, Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara, was elected as the supreme religious leader of 30 million Sikhs and Jathedar of Akal Takhat.
Jathedar Hawara, is incarcerated for assassinating Beant Singh, the then Chief Minister of Punjab. Beant was responsible for death of over 100,000 Sikhs and his death put an end to Genocide of Sikhs.
Jathedar Hawara, being a pro-Khalistan, faces risk of being eliminated. In 1993, another pro-Khalistan Jathedar, Gurdev Singh Kaunke was murdered by the Indian government.
Jathedar Hawara is undergoing "imprisonment till death" a sentence which flouts the fundamental principles of justice and continuous detention of supreme religious leader will create will create discontentment in Sikhs.
We urge the President to seek release of Jathedar Hawara from India.
