Watch family members share their stories of the disappeared and learn about Ensaaf’s work. On Saturday, April 6, will you appear in the memory of a victim of disappearance? Let’s act and show solidarity to survivors of disappearances in Punjab. As professor Judith Herman said: “All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing … The victim demands action, engagement, and remembering.” Let’s work to bridge the gap between impunity and justice in Punjab.
Please register individually, whether you are walking in Fremont, CA, or virtually, so that we can commemorate 500 victims of disappearances through this event. Each registrant will receive a short bio of a person who was disappeared in Punjab by Indian security forces during the Decade of Disappearances!

Although the vast majority of India’s counterinsurgency victims in Punjab were Sikh, Chaman Lal’s plight shows how impunity empowered its security forces to target anyone, including poor Hindu families like his. For the first time, we invite you to watch Chaman Lal’s story in high-definition. His inspiring yet fruitless struggle to obtain justice for the illegal abduction and murder of his son reminds us that the fight to end impunity in Punjab is far from over. Please share this video to give voice to Chaman Lal and the countless other parents who lost their children to India’s brutal counterinsurgency policies.
