Five United Nations human-rights experts urge Canada to take “all feasible measures” to protect Sikh activist Moninder Singh, who they say faces credible threats to his life. In a letter dated June 3 and made public two months later, the experts raise concerns about allegations of foreign intimidation and reprisals related to Singh. The letter states that Singh has repeatedly been warned by Canadian authorities about credible threats to his life since 2022. The experts also note that the concerns have been communicated through their UN procedures and that related information has been relayed to India. The Independent reports that the UN experts are alarmed by the threats and that their concerns are shared with India as well. Yahoo UK News carries the same UN-related warning, and the South China Morning Post reports that the experts specifically call on Canada to ensure Singh’s safety. Across the reports, the core point is that UN experts believe the threat environment facing Singh is serious enough to require strengthened protective measures by Canadian authorities.
