WITH THE SANGAT’S HELP, AMARJIT SINGH MARORI TAKES THE FIRST STEPS TO RESTART HIS LIFE
As part of the SOPW policy of REHABILITATION, we are pleased to announce the purchase of a tractor for Bhai Amarjit Singh Marori.
Amarjit Singh, who is in his early thirties, comes from the village of Marori in District Patiala. He was arrested in October 2008 and charged under Section 25, 54 & 59 of the Arms Act and Section 3, 4 & 5 of the Explosives Act.
Major Singh
SOPW are delighted to announce that as part of our rehabilitation scheme, we have been able to purchase a small pick-up truck for Bhai Major Singh. Bhai Sahib served a total of twenty three years and one month in jail, despite being totally innocent, before he was released in August this year.
It is often the case that when the police arrest a political prisoner, they remove anything of value from their property, seize money/bank accounts or even land, take away their vehicles and even go to the extent of removing doors and taps from their houses – so they can be resold for money. Understandably, this is a huge setback for the family and adds to the anguish they are already facing.
Mohinder Singh

Mohinder Singh comes from the village of Asandh in Haryana. He ran a successful trucking business and also made a living working on his farmland.
On 2nd February 2008, there was an explosion among the cavalcade of cars carrying Gurmit Ram Rahim – the leader of a cult called ‘Dera Sach Sauda’ based in Sirsa. This notorious cult leader had earlier imitated the Sikhs tenth Guru, Gobind Singh, when he held a fake ‘Amrit Sanchar’ (baptism ceremony) where he posed as Guru Gobind Singh. Gurmit Ram Rahim is embroiled in scandal and allegations of two murders. The Dera Sacha Sauda cult has also been investigated for rape and sexual exploitation of over 50 women.
Kulvir Singh Heera
Further to the prison release of Bhai Kulbir Singh Heera from Ludhiana Jail our volunteers met with him and discussed looking ahead at what his hopes were now he was back home with his family.
It is common practice in Panjab when police arrest Sikhs they seize as much of the prisoners possessions as possible, including any savings, work equipment, furniture even removing doors and piping, anything of value that will make life for the prisoners families as difficult as possible.
