UN human rights experts have called on Canada to ensure the safety of Sikh activist Moninder Singh, who faces credible threats to his life. The experts highlighted allegations of foreign intimidation linked to Indian authorities and urged Canada to take protective measures and investigate these claims thoroughly.
Singh, who has received multiple warnings from Canadian officials since 2022, is part of a movement advocating for an independent Sikh state. The situation reflects broader concerns about transnational repression against Sikh activists, particularly in light of recent tensions between Canada and India following the assassination of another Sikh leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
