[ October 31st 2002 ]

SikhNet, a global community of over 100 Sikh and non-Sikh organizations, has launched a campaign to demand Eidos Interactive recall its best-selling Hitman 2: Silent Assassin videogame from the market. The organization claims the sequel glorifies violence and incites racism and hatred against Sikhs and Dalits by linking them to terrorism. SikhNet is lobbying for signatures on a petition it plans to present to Eidos in the coming weeks.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the follow-up to the BAFTA award nominated Hitman: Codename 47. Players enter the mind of a genetically engineered assassin Codename 47, whose deadly efficiency is now needed more than ever. The Eidos title, developed by IO Interactive, recently stole the crown from Nintendo's Super Mario by escalating to numero uno in the all-formats ELSPA charts compiled by ChartTrack.
