Brisbane Airport authorities regret removing turbans
WSN Bureau

In a communication to Waryam Singh, the president of Khalsa Mission, the Brisbane airport authorities have regretted recent incidents of removal of turbans of 13 Sikhs at the Brisbane airport for security checks. The General Manager, Mr. Stephen Goodwin pointed out that the incident occurred due to miscommunication and that there was no change in policy and that there was no question of targeting members of the Sikh community. 

He applauded the role of discussion with Sikh staff members and other leaders of the Sikh community in understanding the sensitivities involved and assured the Sikh community that under no circumstances would be subject to humiliation and that their privacy would always be respected.
