  • POLICE TORTURE in PUNJAB, INDIA: an Extended Survey
    POLICETORTURE IN PUNJAB, INDIA: An Extended Survey Ami Laws and Vincent Iacopino Sikhs make up just 2% of India'spopulation, but 60% of the population of Punjab. In the last two decades, a Sikh separatist movement has developed in India, spawned by perceived political and economic abuses by the government of India.1-6 Since religious figures led the Sikh separatist movement, some understanding of this faith is relevant to the current discussion. Sikhism was founded by Guru Nanak, who was born in 1469, in what is now Pakistani Punjab. In renunciation of the Hindu caste system, Guru Nanak promoted egalitarian- ism. Thus, Sikh temples, called gurudwaras, have four doors facing in the four directions to signify that anyone who chooses may enter. Each gurudwara also contains a kitchen that serves a charitable function: All persons seek- ing food and shelter can find them here.7 In 1699, Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Sikh Guru, established the military brotherhood of the Sikhs, called the Khalsa, at Anandpur. He gave the name Singh (meaning "lion") to all male members of the Khalsa, and to the women, he gave the name Kaur (meaning "princess"). Each member of the Khalsa was to wear five symbols of the Sikh faith: kesh, uncut hair; kanga, a special comb in the hair; kachera, special breeches; kara, a steel bracelet; and kirpan, a sword. Khalsa Sikhs today refer to themselves as "baptized," or amritdhari, Sikhs.8 Because militant, Khalistani Sikhs (those advocating an independent home- Ami Laws is Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, USA.

  • INDIA @Punjab Police: Beyond the Bounds of the Law
    £INDIA @Punjab police: beyond the bounds of the law Amnesty International is concerned at a pattern of human rights violations committed by officers of the Punjab police acting outside their home state. There have been a series of incidents in recent years in which Punjab police have transgressed their operational jurisdiction, travelling, often in vehicles without number plates, to other Indian states to carry out under-cover operations which resulted in serious human rights violations. These included abducting wanted Sikh suspects who have subsequently "disappeared" or been killed in custody. Reports indicate that the Punjab police have been conducting such operations in states other than Punjab without seeking permission of the authorities of the states concerned or giving them prior information about their actions. This is illegal according to the Constitution of India: the responsibility for the maintenance of public order within the territory of a state and for the police rests exclusively with the state government concerned. As far as Amnesty International is aware, little progress has been made in investigations ordered into these allegations and in the majority of the cases those responsible have not been brought to justice. HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN PUNJAB For the last ten years grave human rights violations have been perpetrated in Punjab by the police in their efforts to suppress an often violent campaign for the establishment of a Sikh homeland in a state called "Khalistan". These violations include scores of "disappearances", extrajudicial killings, widespread torture, unacknowledged detentions as well as deaths in custody. Amnesty International has documented its concerns about these human rights violations for many years 1 .
