Danish Court Rules Against Sikhs' Daggers
A Danish court has upheld a lower court ruling that Sikhs cannot carry knives for religious reasons.
Denmark's Eastern High Court on Tuesday confirmed a decision by Copenhagen City Court that Ripudaman Singh had violated a Danish arms law that prohibits carrying knives with blades longer than 2.8 inches in public places.
Singh repeatedly carried a ritual dagger known as a kirpan in his waist band, a tradition that is a basic tenet of Sikhism, an India-based faith with more than 20 million followers worldwide.
