Islamic (Shariah) Law: 17 Young Sikhs on Death row in Dubai - Atlas Shrugs

The jihad continues .... The persecution and death of millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Christians ......... continues apace after a millennium of jihad wars, cultural annihilation, enslavements under sharia law. The relentless jihad in India ........centuries of rivers of blood.

DEATH ROW SIKHS CASE ADJOURNED Judge rules Sikhs must understand charges made against them

A Sharjah court in the United Arab Emirates has adjourned the trial for seventeen men from the Sikh community who have been sentenced to death, as the appeal to save their lives commenced today.

On the 16th June another hearing will be made; Judge Yunis Al-Reda will now hear the appeal once all court proceedings and reports of the case against the accused have been formally translated into Punjabi. In police custody, the men have been subjected to torture methods and other human rights violations. According to the LFHRI (Lawyers for Human Rights International) ‘The Sikh religion has been mocked and slandered.

The lawyers who spoke to the tortured men heard how the officials in Sharjah jail made the prisoners stamp on religious bracelets and necklaces until they broke into pieces, then torment the men about ‘what their God is doing for them.’

The Indian embassy has assured that they will supply a translation of the documents within a week. Up until now, none of the young boys held in custody have been given information about the case against them in the language they understand. The Emirati lawyer who originally represented the seventeen, did not mention to the court anything about the torture they boys were subjected to. In the original court case where the death penalty was given to all men, the trial proceedings were translated from Arabic into Hindi, which the men did not understand.

Sikhs around the world have been pushing for a fair trial, to implement basic human rights. Over 10,000 Sikhs gathered opposite Downing Street on the 16th May to support these Sikhs and to urge the British Government to ensure that these boys have a fair trial, and all evidence against the accused is made available. The young men aged between 21 and 25 are migrant workers from India. They moved to Dubai in search of work to send money back to their loved ones in Punjab. Dubai, a luxury paradise has been built by the hands of men such as these. The families of the seventeen men contest their innocence and have appealed to the Indian Government to step in and repatriate the men back to India. Judge Yunis Al-Reda has ruled the appeal proceedings in Court will continue on the 16th June, once the seventeen young men have been given access to hear the evidence and understand the case against them in a language they understand, Punjabi. This gives the Sikh community and human rights activists time to put pressure on the judicial, to ensure these young boys are freed and sent back to their loving families in India.

SSA,
A lot is there to comment but keeping in mind that the case hearing is in progress we have to be very selective in statements. UAE is not a democracy. GOI, Human rights and many others are trying to secure the release of these 17 youths. Lets hope for the best on 16-06-2010.

I live in Kuwait and run a company. Quite a few times I have noticed Judiciary in Kuwait is not biased towards non-muslims and render justice. May be these people were not able to present their case well hence this situation. Now since lawyers have taken up the case, let us pray justice is not denied to them.

Best regards

SSA,
Rightly stated by Japujisahib04, The Laws at UAE are different then the laws in other countries, yes shariah laws are applied in all arab countries. While making judgements they try not to be biased. I personally know about one case where a sikh was murdered by a bangladeshi muslim and the killer was awarded death senrence. In case of 17 sikhs they could not have been able to express themselves perfectly. As far are the non availabilty of punjabi translators ( in police stations or courts) is talked about, there are translators in the courts. As I said earlier, now lawers are handling the case for these 17 youths, they are proffesionals and they know what they are commenting and why.

We should refrain from making any annoying statements and let the team of lawers deal with the situation as they are expert in shariah law.
All what we can do is to pray for their release and to keep reminding GOI to keep the efforts on to save these youths.

Shariah law is for MUSLIMS ONLY and should NOT be implemented on non-muslim citizens.

roopsidhu ji is correct. The court has delayed its proceedings pending an investigation of the events surrounding the arrest of the men. Specifically to know if they understand the charges against them. And therefore whether they would be able to defend themselves accordingly. The article about the court stay was published about 3 days ago.

SSA,
Yes we all feel that shariah laws should not be implemented on non muslims but that is not the case an islamic countries. And may be this is not going to change in near future. All other national of different religions such as American, canadian, britishers and all europeans are judged by shariah law at UAE.

Let's hope that during the appeal court hearing the truth will come up and the innocent youths will be set free. Even if that will not be the case, still there is lot to hope for the best, at Sharjah most of the death sentences were reduced to imprisoment in the past years. Also if the family of the victom will agree to pardon the death panility can be waived.

SHOULD NOT be implemented on any human. BARBARIC Islamofascism !!!

Have you seen stoning ????

Sharia is Nazism..In fact worse.

There are several videos of stonings on the Net. They are horrific and just plain wrong. It is difficult for me to see how anyone could in any way condone or accept this barbarity.

I do my best to be tolerant and accepting of the religious beliefs of others, but here I draw the line. I cannot and will not condone torture, which is one part of what stoning is.

With some reluctance, I add this link which shows a cellphone record of a taliban stoning of a Pakistani woman. It is graphic and disturbing, but I hope the Moderators leave it here. It makes the point better than anything else could.


Viewer discretion is advised. In other words, don't look at it if you do not have the stomach for it. spnadmin


But to get back to the topic, I do not believe these young men are being threatened with stoning, are they?
