A British tribunal has ordered the police to pay £10,000 in damages to a Sikh policeman for discrimination over orders to remove his turban, the Mirror reported Saturday, October 3.
“It’s a landmark decision for Sikhs in the police,” said solicitor Jag Brar.Police Constable Gurmeal Singh was ordered by Greater Manchester Police to remove his turban during a riot training last year.

Sikhs are typically obliged to wear five symbols at all times, including turbans and no hair cut (for adult males) and iron bracelet; Kara (for women). (Islamonline)
