Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

The International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) was founded in 1984 in the United Kingdom as an international branch of the All India Sikh Students' Federation (AISSF), with centres in several countries, including Canada. ISYF’s Canadian branch was disbanded in 2002. The ISYF is a Sikh organization whose aim is to promote Sikh philosophy and the establishment of an independent Sikh nation called Khalistan. Since 1984, ISYF was responsible for a number of low-intensity bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings, which targeted Hindus, moderate Sikhs, and Indian government officials. ISYF was also implicated in a range of failed bomb and firearm attacks. The ISYF collaborates and/or associates with a number of Sikh terrorist organizations, including Babbar Khalsa International. In 2023, a number of ISYF associates, including its chief, were arrested for allegedly smuggling arms, ammunition, drugs and explosives across the Punjab border.
