UNITED SIKHS submitted the report to the Special Rapporteur on 2nd Dec 2022 jointly with Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar, London, the largest Afghan Sikh diasporic Gurdwara, and CAP Freedom of Conscience, an NGO with consultative status at the UN.
We are a NGO that specializes in the freedom of religious minorities. This statement reports to the UN on the urgent need to evacuate the religious minorities of Afghanistan – namely the Sikhs and Hindus of Afghanistan, who face religious persecution and an immediate threat to their lives, following the takeover by the Taliban. We make this statement jointly with UNITED SIKHS, an international humanitarian and advocacy NGO that has been associated with the Department of Public Office of the United Nations, since 2007, and the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar, London, UK, which serves the largest Afghan Sikh congregation in the world.
