June 7, 2004 | Comments Off on British MPs release 1984 Report
As Sikhs gathered throughout the UK to remember the carnage of 1984, British MPs commemorated the 20th anniversary of Operation Bluestar last week by releasing a report by the Truth and Justice Campaign at the House of Commons. The report, titled 1984 Sikhs’ Kristallnacht, gives eyewitness accounts and individual cases drawing from the 1984 Army attack on the Darbar Sahib complex in Amritsar and the pogroms against Sikhs.
British campaigners also presented a petition signed by 10,000 individuals, calling for an independent Commission on Truth and Justice to inquire into the 1984 massacres. For more information, contact the 1984 Genocide Coalition at 1984genocide@khalsa.com.
The BBC has collected memories from eyewitnesses and survivors of Operation Bluestar.
