Sikh activist says he received new RCMP ‘duty to warn’ of threat to life
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a dual Canadian-U.S. citizen, says he also received a similar threat notification from the FBI earlier this month.
Canadian Sikh activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun received a new "duty to warn" notification from the RCMP this week, informing him of a credible threat to his life, according to Pannun. Pannun, a dual Canadian-U.S. citizen and lawyer with Sikhs for Justice, claims the notification is evidence of ongoing transnational repression by India against the pro-Khalistan movement.
He also received a similar warning from the FBI earlier this month. Pannun says the RCMP has not disclosed the identity or motivation behind the threat, stating it remains under investigation. Pannun and other pro-Khalistan activists allege they are under surveillance by Indian intelligence according to a "kill list" of over 100 Canadians.
The RCMP confirmed to Global News they have conducted "duty to warn" notifications across the country with members of the South Asian community, emphasizing their commitment to Canadians' safety and security.
