UNITED SIKHS and UNITED HUMANITARIAN SIKH AID: Statement Regarding the Death of Henry Nowak
June 3, 2026
London,UK
UNITED SIKHS and its UNITED HUMANITARIAN SIKH AID Chapter in the UK extend their deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Henry Nowak. The loss of a young man with so much life ahead is a profound tragedy that no family should have to endure.
Sikhism is a monotheistic faith founded on the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus and the Guru Granth Sahib. It emphasizes equality, justice, compassion, humility, honest living, and service to humanity. Central to Sikh ethical teaching is the principle of Sarbat da Bhala—the well-being of all— alongside a commitment to truth, non-violence, and respect for the dignity of every human being.
These principles reject violence, oppression, and injustice, and call upon individuals to act with restraint, accountability, and compassion toward others. Sikh teachings also emphasize that each person is responsible for their own actions.
As legal proceedings in this matter move toward conclusion, we respect the judicial process and affirm that individual actions should never be used to stereotype or assign blame to entire communities, faiths, or identities, as doing so only deepens harm and injustice.
UNITED SIKHS and its UNITED HUMANITARIAN SIKH AID Chapter in the UK reaffirm their commitment to justice, human dignity, and community harmony, grounded in the values of compassion, accountability, and service central to the Sikh faith.
We pray for Henry and extend strength and comfort to his family during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
