PRO ASYL has requested in an urgent appeal the Federal Government, the Federal President Mr. Johannes Rau and the chairwoman of the Committee on Human Rights Mrs. Christa Nickels, to take all political and diplomatic iniatives in order to prevent the threatening death penalty of professor Davinder Pal Singh.
The Indian citizen is threatened with the execution in India after his rejection from Germany. According to knowledge of PRO ASYL this is the first case, in which a refugee is threatened with the death penalty, who has been rejected because of an incorrect asylum decision by Germany. Dramatically the case of Mr. Singh Bhullar shows the structural defects of the German airport procedure. Decisions on life or death cannot be made in summary procedures under detention-similar conditions.
