The Canadian government wrote to the UN saying it is very concerned about the threats to Moninder Singh and is taking action to stop them. The government is working to protect Singh from threats made by people from other countries. Canada wants to keep everyone on its soil safe.

The UN had asked Canada to do more to protect Singh after getting a letter from five special UN helpers in June.

These helpers wanted Canada to look into the threats more quickly and to punish those responsible. They also wanted to know what Canada was doing to protect all Sikhs in the country.

Canada said it takes all serious threats against people in its country very seriously and is concerned about the threats to Singh and his family.

Canada is taking strong action to find, stop, and prevent threats from other countries, both online and offline, and to better protect those who are targeted.

The UN helpers told Canada to increase protection for the threatened Sikh activist.

The police have made arrests in the killing of a Sikh activist named Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.

The government says the threat from India is over, but Sikh activists disagree.

Part of Canada's strong action was a public statement in 2024 warning about a threat from the government of India found by law enforcement investigations.

Some people think the police have made statements that contradict the warnings about India.

India's government has never said it was involved in the killing of Nijjar or any other violent acts in Canada. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has not acknowledged any role in these acts.

Canada told the UN it cannot comment on ongoing investigations but is working to identify and address threats from foreign countries.

Canada knows some foreign countries try to scare, bother, and harm people in Canada and their relatives abroad. When it finds out about a threat, it uses all its powers to respond.

This response includes investigating, advising, and stopping threats against individuals in Canada.

The police and their partners have found several serious and immediate threats to life, leading them to warn members of the South Asian community, especially those in the pro-Khalistan movement.

Singh has received four warnings, the most recent in February 2026, as Canada tries to restore normal relations with India.

A minister said there is more work to do with India after a Canadian official said it is no longer a threat.

The federal government has listed the Bishnoi Gang as a terrorist group.

Singh is very critical of the duty-to-warn system, which requires police to warn someone when their life may be in danger.

Singh said the duty to warn is not enough and leaves the individual to handle the threat alone after the warning.

Canada did not give details on how it responded to the threat against Singh but said the police may take steps beyond just warning the person.

Canada works closely with security and intelligence partners to protect its Sikh community from foreign threats.
