Prosecutors in Alameda County, California decided to drop criminal charges against Maninder Singh, a Sikh who was arrested for carrying his kirpan. The charges were dismissed as a result of a collaborative effort between the Sikh Coalition and Singh's defense attorney.
The Coalition has now successfully assisted in defending over twenty Sikhs from criminal prosecution for carrying the kirpan.
