India has ordered prominent video-sharing platforms to block access to a new Canadian documentary probing the assassination of a prominent Sikh activist in Vancouver, in a move that highlights India’s mounting frustration with the allegations its government was behind the high-profile killing.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Last week, the CBC’s Fifth Estate, the national broadcaster’s investigative unit, aired Contract to Kill, a 43-minute documentary about the shooting death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The murder, and subsequent investigation by Canada’s national security apparatus, prompted the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, in September to tell the country’s parliament there were “credible allegations” that “agents of the Indian government” were behind the killing.
Earlier this week, YouTube told the CBC that it had received an order from India’s ministry of electronics and information technology, requesting it to block access to the video of the story from its website.
The documentary includes security footage of Nijjar leaving the parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara temple on a June evening.
To ensure fairness and balance, the documentary included a wide range of voices, witnesses and subject matter experts,” Chuck Thompson, CBC’s head of public affairs, said in a statement.
“New Zealand’s position on the allegations remains unchanged – if they are proven correct, then that would be of serious concern,” John Tulloch, the senior press secretary in Peters’ office, said in a statement.
