Sign a petition to support Satnam Singh
UPDATE: Florida has agreed to let Satnam Singh serve out the rest of his sentence in Vermont where he'll be allowed to keep his hair and dastaar. Vermont rocks! See the posted comment for details. -- WK
=================
Consider signing the Sikh Coalition petition described below.
=================
A gentleman named, Satnam Singh, is a federal prisoner in a minimum security
Ohio facility at the moment. He is being deported back to Singapore because
of false documents. On April 9 he will be transported to a Florida facility
prior to his deportation. The problem is that Florida law prohibits male
prisoners from keeping long hair or a beard. As an adherent to the Sikh
faith, this is a serious problem for Mr. Singh and a potentially large blow
to all Sikhs in America and their ability to practice their faith.
We are asking all organizations to co-sponsor a petition to Governor Jeb
Bush. The petition can be access at:
http://www.sikhcoalition.org/petition_florida.asp
Further if you can help to reach out to other community organizations or any
folks in the media, it would be much appreciated.
To add an organization as a co-sponsor, we need the following information:
Name of the organization:
Address:
Contact Name:
Phone:
Email Address:
Fax:
Time is of the essence on this matter. Please respond ASAP.
