Sikh forced to cut hair in US Jail

On or about July 1, 2008, Sikh prisoner Jagmohan Singh Ahuja suffered an egregious violation of his religious rights when jail officers forcibly cut his hair in Duval County Jail. Jagmohan was recently informed by prison officials that his hair will be cut again, and he immediately contacted UNITED SIKHS to help stop the continued gross violation of his dearly held religious beliefs. UNITED SIKHS’ legal team and religious liberties experts are diligently working on this case, but we need your assistance. Sign the petition now to save Jagmohan Singh from further trauma and humiliation, and to change the discriminatory Florida prison
regulations.
