Summary The Interpol has said India has failed to provide sufficient information to support its case.
LONDON (Dunya News) - The Interpol has rejected Indian request to issue a Red Notice against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the Canada-based founder and legal advisor of the pro-Khalistan outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), whom the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has listed as a “terrorist” under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The Interpol has said India has failed to provide sufficient information to support its case, and that the UAPA has been criticised for being “misused” to target minority groups and human rights activists without “respecting” their right to due process and a fair trial.
Interpol also raised concerns over the “misuse" of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) to target minority groups and rights activists without “respecting" their right to due process and a fair trial.
Interpol said that SFJ is a group that calls for an independent Khalistan, it said that his activities have a “clear political dimension". And therefore, it cannot be the subject of a Red Corner Notice according to Interpol’s Constitution.
