British Sikh Sues Polish Border Guards Over Airport Search

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Polskie Radio today reports that a British Sikh has filed suit (apparently in Polish courts) against Polish border guards who required him to remove his turban during screening at the International Frederic Chopin Airport. Airport procedures call for security personnel to manually touch the turban and then use a special detector instead of requiring removal. Plaintiff, Shaminder Puri, who works for an NGO and the EU, asked the Polish ambassador to India and the head of Poland's Border Guards to investigate, but receive no satisfaction. Any damages Puri recovers will be donated to a charity for children who suffer from leukemia.
