The Baku Initiative Group has released a special documentary marking 42 years since the 1984 anti-Sikh violence in India, drawing renewed attention to the events and the continuing calls for justice by victims and their families, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Sunday.
According to the organisation, the documentary presents archival footage and photographs depicting attacks on Sikh homes, incidents of violence and the destruction that occurred during the unrest.
The film also highlights allegations that Sikh men were burnt alive, children were killed and women were subjected to sexual violence during the events.
The documentary examines the aftermath of the violence and raises questions about accountability for those alleged to have been responsible.
The organisation argues that many affected families continue to seek justice decades after the incidents took place.
The Baku Initiative Group said that a significant number of victims have yet to receive what it described as complete judicial redress.
Human rights advocates featured in the documentary similarly contend that legal and accountability processes have remained incomplete for many survivors and relatives of those killed.
In releasing the film, the organisation called on the international community to take notice of the suffering endured by Sikh victims and to support efforts aimed at ensuring accountability and recognition of their grievances.
The documentary has attracted attention in discussions surrounding historical human rights issues and the legacy of the 1984 anti-Sikh violence, with the Baku Initiative Group seeking to place renewed focus on the experiences of survivors and their ongoing demands for justice.
