Ensure Sikhs are not forced to remove turban at airport.
There are more and more cases where Sikh men are being forced to remove their turban at European and International airports. Recent case is Mr Waris, who was refused boarding a flight to New York.
The Government needs to do more internationally to protect Sikhs human right of religion.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government and Parliament can only take action on airport security within the UK. You could ask for the law to be changed, to provide protection for Sikhs at airport security.
You could also ask the UK Government to raise this issue with other governments across the world.
