The Delhi High Court has granted bail to Jagtar Singh Johal, a British citizen who was detained by the Indian govt and reportedly tortured without cause. As a civil rights org, we support all efforts to ensure Mr. Johal is safely released from custody. https://t.co/HhEJZsU5IL

The Sikh Coalition is aware of reports that a Sikh truck driver was allegedly attacked at a rest stop along the I-80 corridor over the weekend. We are working to gather more information and contact the affected individual; we look forward to sharing more information when we can.

CAPAC Condemns the Department of Homeland Security’s Discriminatory Social Media Posts

We reached out to @AAGDhillon, urging action against the latest fear mongering targeting the Sikh community and being amplified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

DHS's rhetoric, and the profiling tipline they are celebrating, is the issue at hand. Everything else is noise—and especially ironic, given that some of these same groups have called for the profiling of Sikhs before.

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

Certain groups who are taking advantage of the DHS's anti-Sikh posts to tell their own stories about Indian identity or their issues with Khalistan advocacy are, as usual, missing the point.

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

A phone line where anyone can call and accuse a driver of committing “CDL fraud” and/or being an “illegal immigrant” with no evidence is flagrant profiling. Ask your elected officials in Congress to speak out against DHS --> https://t.co/orJsMF1u1D

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Sikhs are *still* being targeted and profiled for how we look.

Millions of Sikhs in the United States have the last name Singh, which means lion. We remain fearless in identifying as Sikhs—even when our government portrays us as enemies.

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

One important step is to urge Congress to refuse reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Learn more and take action at https://t.co/aA82V8bycA

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember not only the lives lost that day, but all those who have been affected by hate and violence in the years since. This anniversary is an opportunity to both reflect and take action.

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

On September 15, you can join the commemoration of Balbir Singh Sodhi—either in person in Mesa, Arizona, or from across the nation via livestream. Learn more --> https://t.co/3tS0mTPMRj

It is unfortunate—but telling—that @HinduAmerican and others chose to avoid that substantive conversation in favor of shielding the RSS from criticism through claims of Hinduphobia. /thread

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

THREAD: @HinduAmerican had a lot to say during last week’s RSS visit. Here are some of our thoughts.

[Sikh Coalition @sikh_coalition]

Ultimately, @HinduAmerican's posting throughout the RSS visit lacked any actual engagement with the RSS's history—including its founding ideology, its record on minority rights in India, or the substance of decades of documented scholarship and reporting on the organization.
