This article is not about Afghan Hindus and Sikhs but I thought some Afghan Sikhs might find it interesting as it relates to Sikhs in neighboring country sharing the same language.

Sikhs in Iran are a small business community of hundred plus families and if justice is denied it will put this small religious minority to further risk also. The Sikh residents of Iran must be accorded reciprocal benefits enjoyed by Iranian citizens

Furthermore, Islam has also laid down universal fundamental rights for humanity which are to be observed and respected in all circumstances.
