Canadian Sikh in June but Indian media Outlets are now reporting that Delhi does want to put renewed pressure on some foreign Sikh activists naming seven
britons among 19 people whose Indian properties are set to be confiscated it comes at a time when some British Sikhs are concerned about a mischaracterization of their Community here's our religion editor Alim mukbul when Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in the murder of this

Dumbarton he's a well-known Sikh rights activist and in 2017 went to India to get married but there he was bundled into a car and has been in prison ever since he says he's been tortured and is frequently marched to court accused of extremist offenses which he denies though he's yet to be tried there have been six years of protests a
U.N working group publicly called for Mr johal's immediate release but the
British government has yet to do the same says he's impressed by Canada's stance the Canadian Prime Minister stood out for his citizen heard about what their
what's happened to one of her citizens and as a result he's went into Parliament spoke to the opposition and said what he did
