International Human Rights Groups Call for Gill’s Prosecution for Murder of Khalra
May 1, 2006 | Comments Off on International Human Rights Groups Call for Gill’s Prosecution for Murder of Khalra
On May 1, 2006, ENSAAF, Human Rights Watch, REDRESS, and the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice wrote to the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), calling on the CBI to investigate and prosecute former Director General of Police K.P.S. Gill for the murder of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. Over ten years ago, members of the Punjab police operating under Mr. Gill abducted, tortured, and murdered Mr. Khalra because of his courageous work in exposing the disappearances, custodial deaths, and secret cremations of thousands of Sikhs in Punjab. Given the weight of the evidence that emerged during the trial of his subordinates, under international law, there is a clear legal case to be made against K.P.S. Gill.
