Dear Friends,

Please take a few minutes to read and act on this email.

On May 23rd 2001 the Taleban authorities in Afghanistan
confirmed that all Hindus will be required to wear a strip of yellow
cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify themselves.
They claim that the measure is for their "protection". The world
has faced this before, in 1939 the world was required, at great cost,
to rid itself of Hitler's tyranny, it is not hard to spot his child.

Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to
relive it. The Taleban's record on respecting other religions gives
great cause for concern that their ultimate aim, upon which they
are intent, is "religious cleansing". They have already demonstrated their distain and intolerance for other religions and traditions by the desecration and destruction of the ancient Buddhist statues, our collective heritage, within the Afghanistan.

Whatever your religion, or even if you have none, we hope
that you will agree that this is fundamentally wrong. Remember,
"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do
nothing". Please do not do nothing, add your voice.

To The Secretary General, Security
Council and General Assembly of the United Nations.
We the undersigned are appalled by the decision of the
Taleban government of Afghanistan to require all Hindus to wear a
piece of yellow cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to
identify themselves. An individual's communion with God, however
they find him, is a matter of personal conscience and must
not be the subject of intimidation or persecution. The right of
everyone to worship as they wish is fundamental and
inalienable. The United Nations was founded in order to defeat Hitler
and his henchmen who required the same from another religion with
all it's horrific consequences. It is completely unacceptable
that nearly 60 years later history is repeating itself. We ask
the following:

1. That the Taleban government is made aware in the
strongest possible terms that the world will not countenance this
perversion of human rights.

2. That prior to the United Nations and/or it's constituent
members granting recognition of the Taleban government this
obscene policy is reversed.

3. That the United Nations widen the terms of the trade
sanctions currently in force.
