Bhai Amritpal Singh and his fellow detainees in Assam's Dibrugarh jail are currently in a precarious state. They are pointing out that the food provided to them may be contaminated with poisonous substances by the authorities. They have been held in confinement at the Dibrugarh facility since March of last year under the harsh provisions of the National Security Act despite the complete absence of any concrete evidence justifying their detainment. Their sole transgression is because of their vocal advocacy for Sikh rights within the context of a supposedly democratic nation.
Should any harm befall these Sikh political prisoners in Dibrugarh, both the prime minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi and the chief minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, must bear responsibility for this sad affair.
We urgently call for Bhai Amritpal Singh and other Singh’s immediate release from Dibrugarh prison and the initiation of a fair and transparent trial concerning the unfounded charges under which they have been unjustly detained
