UN Experts Urge Canada to Protect Threatened Sikh Activist The United Nations experts' letter to the Canadian government has highlighted the country's troubled record on safeguarding human rights advocates.
The recent warning of threats to Moninder Singh, a Canadian national, is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of silence and inaction by Ottawa when it comes to standing up for its citizens who challenge foreign governments.
Canada prides itself as a champion of international justice and human rights, but the treatment of Singh suggests that this reputation is built on shaky ground.
