The Ravidassia Community was hurt to hear that members of the Sikh Religion were supporting those who committed to the murder of Saint Ramanand in Vienna, Austria in May 2009. Hardeep Singh (one of the five murderers) had 3 demands whereby two of them were met by Austrian Authorities. However, the demand which was not met and is believed to be being considered is the most hurtful and degrading as these 5 people who committed the murder of Saint Ramanand are asking for a reopening and a re-trial for the Vienna Attacks.We demand that the Austrian Government does NOT allow this as these criminals committed to a cold-blooded murder and were found GUILTY.

On 24th May 2009, when the attack took place in Vienna, there many witnesses to confirm that these 5 men were the killers of Saint Ramanand and therefore the judge who found these 5 men guilty did the right thing and that there is no need for a re-opening or retrial of this case!

It is very hurtful and deeply saddening to know that the Austrian authorities have shown such priority to a murderer and have now began to treat him as a victim along with the other murderers of Saint Ramanand.

No action, no sentencing and no sympathy will replace the pain we have felt since 24th May 2009. The least we require and all that we demand is JUSTICE to be served by NOT allowing this case to be reopend or re-trialed and to treat these 5 killers as criminals NOT victims.

This is the opinion of many from across the world.

We DEMAND justice!
