Interest taken in plight of Lathrop man
Placeholder Image
After two months of detention in Punjabi prison a Lathrop resident and United States citizen might finally be getting the State Department intervention – or at least interest – that his family has been begging for. Ravinderjit Singh Gogi was arrested on Feb. 26 while visiting the hospital bedside of his hunger-striking father, Surat Singh Khalsa – a permanent resident of the United States. He was charged with a pair of offenses that his family claims are purely political and are under Indian law intended as measures to prevent disturbing the peace.
