Is it possible to get in touch with the Canada border agents who escorted Parminder and who expressed shock at his treatment by the Indian agents? Perhaps they can tell the story so that it can be relayed first hand to the Canadian media here.
I understand under the NSA he could be held indefinitely without charges. Is there any fear of physical torture i.e. electric shocks to genitals and other parts of the anatomy? Can someone who is in touch with the family update his situation as relayed by him during the brief meetings that he is allowed with his family? who is going to be his lawyer? does he have one yet? what are the chances of him being released after the indians do their debriefing or investigations? Please up date!!

As soon as parminder landed at Delhi his plane was surrounded by 50 to 60 commandos and SWAT headed by Delhi ACP Ravi Shankar. As parminder tried to get out of plane he heard a shout from one on the officer quote” come down a..s h…e now we will baptize you” ” neeche aa ga..du abh tujhe amrit peeliange” means that give you urine to drink.
Then one of the officer tried to grab him and parminder asked him on what grounds they are arresting him and giving this treatment he has no pending case in India. Then officer told him that they are booking him under NSA. Canadian official expressed their shock to the authorities and asked them to stay calm.
But he was taken away with in minutes in a jeep to local police station and kept in a filthiest room where shit was still stuck to the toilet room was full of foul smell. All night he was in that room and served with 35 to 40 pages of charge sheet.
In the morning he was taken to Tihar Jail and kept in Max. security cell with closed circuit cameras. He ws not allowed to meet the relatives for 32 hrs. The relatives met him for 45 mins and he described all this drama.
His room in the jail is also filthy and asked for new bed sheets, pillow covers and comforter. I don’t know if authorities will allow that.
Next meeting is on Tuesday. Canada violated rights of a true refugee and acted against humanity to give such a treatment to person who wanted to live peacefully with family.
He described this treatment in advance to the judge Mosley and Judge Mosley asked what evidence he has, that he will get this treatment. Parminder had described in detail the treatment meted to others in similar circumstances in India. But judge Mosely did not give any credence to it.
We must expose the the atrocities of both Indian and Canadian Govts.

I am a close friend of Parminder and have first hand knowledge of his case.
