UNITED SIKHS Right To Turban At Airport Petition Travelling? Your turban could be touched or removed. Since April 2010, EU regulations have followed the lead of American policy in allowing all turbans to be patted down or removed. Have you been a victim? Will you be a victim? What about your brother, sister or friend? Sikhs have already faced humiliation and threat of violence as a consequence in Poland, Spain and France. These regulations are currently suspended in the UK but travelling in Europe or the US a turban-wearing Sikh can expect to submit to additional screening that will involve the touching or removal of his/her turban. UNITED SIKHS is fighting the discrimination fuelling these changes with education and advocacy. We are working to fight for the rights of all Sikhs. Empower our fight by signing the petition below.

Common sense pls. A pat down is one thing but taking off a turban is way over the line.

Ridiculous. My dad has been stopped so many times it is just embarrassing for everyone involved. Leave us alone.

This is nothing but profiling. Religious freedom should mean something in 2017.

Airport security is out of control. Treat people like humans instead of suspects.

STOP HARASSING PEOPLE FOR THEIR TURBANS. Total lack of respect.

Never had this happen personally but hearing about what happens to others makes me not want to fly at all.
