Pakistani Diplomats Threaten Journalists … in Canada!

08/20/2018

Just recently, I received another chilling threat from Pakistan's consul general to Toronto, Mr. Imran Siddiqui, who threatened to "fix" me as well as fellow journalist Tarek Fatah and the TAG TV team. Unfortunately, this was the first time in my 19 years in Canada that I started feeling that no government institution would save me and my freedom of expression from intervention by a foreign government and its sponsored Canadian parliamentarians.

Now, I seek answers from the Canadian government and law enforcement agencies. As a Canadian citizen and journalist, am I an open target of Pakistani diplomats' threats and intimidations?
