The high-profile killing of a Canadian citizen who advocated for an independent Sikh homeland has prompted revelations from fellow activists that police warned them of threats to their own lives in the wake of his death.
Three months later, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an explosive allegation when he said Ottawa believed the Indian government had involvement in Nijjar’s killing.
Douglas C. Ligor, a behavioural and social scientist at the RAND Corporation, said that when U.S. authorities share this type of information, they must balance national security interests with the need to protect people under threat.
But he said the FBI and other members of the U.S. intelligence community have a “duty to warn” individuals — with limited exceptions — when a threat emerges that is relatively imminent and could result in a killing, serious injury or kidnapping.
“I’m concerned by reports that India’s government is targeting Sikh activists abroad,” Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, posted earlier this week on X, formerly Twitter.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his Indian counterpart, Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, in Washington on Thursday, where the Niijar case was raised.
