Live tweeting new findings on the suspicious death of Bhai Avtar Singh Khanda, UK activist believed to have been a victim of India's anti-Sikh transnational assassination program @GSJohal85 reveals despite paying for the visa for Khanda's family to come to the UK to be expedited the application was delayed for a month.

He also reveals the UK used Indian media articles (where press freedom is lower than Afghanistan's Taliban) to justify denying the visa.

Today we received dozens of complaints about today's @BBCNews article (which we won't share) on #BhaiAmritpalSingh.

Just weeks after the BBC released a documentary exposing India's fascism, to see that context ignored for a biased take on a Sikh movement is disgraceful. Image The article by @ZoyaMat @ArvindChhabra begins by demonising Bhai Amritpal Singh as "raising fears". A balanced article would also highlight how Amritpal Singh is giving hope to countless Sikhs by helping those impacted by Punjab's addiction epidemic through faith based support. Image

On Wednesday 3rd Nov Sikh community sevadaar (selfless servant) @sikhhistorysim will pose panthic (Sikh path/community focused) questions to Canadian media figure and Indian nationalist mouthpiece @CBCTerry in a twitter spaces discussion.

Tune in from 12pm PST time to listen. Sikh PA are supporting Sim Kaur in her efforts to pose questions of community sentiment to Terry Milewski, who is infamous for terming Punjabi-Sikh Canadian political engagement "samosa politics", as well as his work maligning Sikh support for Khalistan (a free Sikh homeland).

This past weekend the inaugural voting event for the Sikhs For Justice #KhalistanReferendum took place in London (UK). SFJ estimate over 10,000 voters took part.

Further voting events are planned across the UK and other Sikh diaspora areas in Canada, USA and Australia shortly. ImageImageImage The democratic referendum is non-binding and considered illegal in India, but will be used as a gauge of support for Khalistan (a free Sikh homeland made up of Punjab and local regions) among Punjabi-Sikhs.

India have designated SFJ a "terror" org for their referendum campaign.
