The recent reports out of the UK detailing the persistent and horrific racism faced by the Sikh community are more than just isolated incidents of hate – they are a damning indictment of the institutional apathy and systemic rot that Voices For Freedom has always warned about.

While the mainstream media selectively focuses on issues that fit its pre-approved narrative, the story of British Sikhs being targeted- often due to ignorance and the misdirected fallout of decades of failed foreign and security policies – exposes a profound breakdown in the promise of a safe, free, and just society.

Targeted and Neglected: The ‘Silent Victims’ of a Broken System

The evidence is clear: Sikhs are experiencing shockingly high levels of discrimination. They are disproportionately targeted in public spaces and workplaces, with those wearing the dastar (turban) and observing other articles of faith being the most vulnerable.

This racism is often rooted in the hateful misidentification of Sikhs for extremist groups. Yet, for decades, governments and the very institutions charged with protecting these citizens have systematically failed to address this crisis adequately. When a segment of the population can be subjected to abuse and violence simply because their appearance is confused with a manufactured enemy, and the system does nothing effective to correct this ignorance, that is not merely a social problem; it is a failure of governance and education.

We ask: Why, after years of data showing the disproportionate targeting of Sikhs, are children still being bullied in schools, and adults still facing discrimination at airports and in their daily lives? The answer is simple: the establishment prioritises compliance and control over the genuine protection and freedom of its people.

Freedom for All, Not Just for the Compliant

Voices For Freedom believes that the fight for freedom is indivisible. You cannot be truly free if your neighbour lives in fear because of their faith, skin colour, or appearance.

The same apparatus of power that sought to divide us during the mandate era, pitting citizen against citizen, and creating an environment where individual dignity was sacrificed for “public safety” is the same one that allows this deeply ingrained societal discrimination to persist. The system thrives on division, fear, and the marginalisation of those who stand out.

• When the state overreaches, the dignity of the individual is the first casualty.

• When institutions prioritise bureaucratic inertia over human rights, communities suffer in silence.

The abuse endured by the Sikh community is a symptom of a society that has lost its moral compass, relying on superficial political posturing instead of radical individual liberty. True freedom means standing up for the rights of all people, especially those the system has deemed “invisible.”

Our Pledge: A Society Built on Dignity

Voices For Freedom stands firm in our belief that every global citizen has an inherent right to live without fear, discrimination, or systemic injustice.

We refuse to accept the mainstream narrative that simply labels this as “racism” and moves on. We see it as another piece of evidence confirming that the system is broken and will not protect you.

The fight against mandates, the fight for medical sovereignty, and the fight against the marginalization of the Sikh community are all the same fight: the defense of human dignity against encroaching, cold-hearted control.

We urge all our supporters to reflect on this injustice and recognise that we must continue to build a society where the inherent worth of every individual, regardless of their background or belief, is not just acknowledged but fiercely defended.
