"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

whoismanvir: Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana is set to be executed in Punjab for his involvement in the assassination of former chief minister of Punjab, Beant Singh.  It will be the first execution in Punjab’s history in 24 years. Chief minister Beant Singh was involved with carrying out brutal and mass killings of Sikhs in Punjab.  He is widely held responsible by many Sikhs for ordering the kidnap, torture and death of many young Sikh men.  A report by Amnesty International can be found here. Balwant Singh Rajoana has confessed his involvement in the assassination.  He’s accepted the sentence without protest,  identifying a lack of faith in the Indian judiciary system and accusing Indian courts for applying dual standards of law.  The Indian judiciary system is one that has continued to protect the culprits of the mass killings of Sikhs.  In his will Balwant Singh announced his wish to donate his eyes and other body parts after his death, in particular, he expressed his desire that his eyes should be transplanted to Hazoori Ragi of Darbar Sahib, visually impaired Bhai Lakhwinder Singh.  An English translation of his living will can be found here. Sikh groups in the diaspora are organizing demonstrations to bring awareness to Balwant Singh’s case.  You can find out more about these events on this facebook PLEASE SPREAD THIS ISSUE.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS ISSUE. 

This guy (Balwant Singh Rajoana)  has been sentenced to death by hanging on March 31. 17 years ago he killed a military official who was responsible for leading the indian military to murder thousands of Sikhs through a Gov’t mandated genocide, which started in 1984. At that time Balwant Singh was sentenced to 17 years in prison.

His sentence is going to be over soon, and now the Indian Gov’t has decided to hang him. In an effort to get rid of him, basically because he is becoming a really influential person for the Sikh community and is gaining a lot of support. I believe if he was allowed to walk free, and with widespread media coverage, India would have to admit to the genocide, which it has denied that it occurred for the past 26 years.
