An Indian man named Jasbir Singh says he will self-immolate outside the G20 summit this weekend to protest the 1984 Sikh Genocide.
"I come from Delhi, India. I am a victim and witness of November 1984 Sikh Genocide in which 26 members of my family were also burnt alive by the mobs led by Jagidh Tytler, then member parliament of party in power," he wrote in an email.
"On June 26, 2010, when Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India will be attending G-20 sumit in Toronto, Canada, I will put myself on fire as protest against the denial of justice to the victims of 1984 Sikh Genocide. I will sacrifice my life through self-immolation hoping that it will jolt the conscious of world community who will then pressurize India to prosecute perpetrators of 1984 Sikh Genocide."
A spokesperson for the Integrated Security Unit said it is possible that the force's intelligence gathering officers were aware of the plan.
"Our officers have been told to be vigilant so I'm sure if they saw something like that, they'd be able to react," she said.
