Le gouvernement français a mis en place un système de contrôle de ces minorités unique en Europe qui conduit à des violations graves par l’Etat des principes de liberté de religion ou de conviction, d’égalité des citoyens français devant les institutions nationales et de fraternité, en divisant les citoyens selon leur appartenance ou non à une minorité religieuse ou de conviction reconnue, et en créant un climat de suspicion et parfois même de haine à l’égard des croyances non traditionnelles, conduisant à une détérioration de la qualité du vivre ensemble pacifique.

The French government has established a system of control over these minorities that is unique in Europe and that leads to serious violations by the State of the principles of freedom of religion or belief, equality of French citizens before the national institutions, and fraternity, by dividing citizens according to whether or not they belong to a recognized religious or belief minority, and by creating a climate of suspicion and sometimes even hatred towards non-traditional beliefs, leading to a deterioration in the quality of peaceful living together.

We live in an era where journalism transcends boundaries and sparks positive change, and a remarkable example of this has emerged through the ground-breaking reporting by The Punjab Feed, a fresh start-up. Their insightful coverage on the Sikhs of France has ignited a wave of European solidarity for the right to turban, fostering change on an international scale.
This remarkable journey began when The Punjab Feed’s ground report shed light on the challenges faced by Sikh individuals in France due to the 2004 law prohibiting conspicuous religious symbols in state schools. The story reached the hearts of many, resonating with the fundamental principles of human rights and freedom of expression.
