A Canadian Court has refused to allow a Sikh religious leader to enter into the courtroom with kirpan, a symbol of Sikh religion, saying it could be used as a weapon. Superior Court Justice Steven Rogin refused to allow Sukdev Singh Kooner to enter into courtroom with kirpan. The Judge said, although Kooner's charter right to freedom of religion may be breached, he will not be allowed to bring his kirpan into the courthouse. Windsor police assigned extra security to the courtroom yesterday as nearly 100 members of the local Sikh community crowded in to quietly witness the proceedings. None of the Sikh men or women wore their kirpans into the court.
