Over the past five months, within the framework of cooperation with the International Sikh Federation, the Baku Initiative Group has successfully organized two international conferences dedicated to important topics such as transnational repression, discrimination against ethnic minorities in India, the protection of human rights, as well as international organizations, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities and human rights in general, Executive Director of the Baku Initiative Group Abbas Abbasov said during his speech at the international conference titled “June 1984, Amritsar Events: India’s Transnational Repression Against Ethnic Minorities in the Context of Genocide”, dedicated to the Indian government's repressive policy against ethnic minorities, APA reports.

“In addition, we jointly prepared and published a report, which was presented in Geneva during the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council. I firmly believe that our cooperation with the International Sikh Federation will make an important contribution to the protection of the rights of ethnic minorities and human rights,” Abbas Abbasov noted.
