On March 13, 2026, the Sikh Federation International and the Baku Initiative Group will host a joint press conference at the Geneva Press Club to present an extensive, data-driven report detailing the escalation of Indian transnational repression against the Sikh diaspora.

The report provides evidence of a systemic campaign by state actors to silence political dissidents through extrajudicial killings, coercion, and harassment across North America, Australia, Europe, and beyond.
