Woman convicted of killing stepson wins reprieve to stay in Canada five years after she was ordered deported nationalpost.com/news/canada/ni…

“I Shoot. I Done.” The Killing of a Canadian Immigration Officer by Mewa Singh Guru Nanak Jahaz, funded by the Canadian government and supported by several Punjabi immigration consultancies, depicts the 1914 assassination of Canadian immigration officer William C. Hopkinson by Mewa Singh inside the Vancouver courthouse corridor. Mewa Singh, celebrated as a “Canadian shaheed” by some today, was motivated by the Komagata Maru incident, where Canada denied entry to hundreds of his countrymen from India for violating the continuous journey regulation, and by his belief that Hopkinson’s intelligence network was harming the Sikh community. In the film’s portrayal of the killing, Singh empties one pistol into Hopkinson, then continues firing with a second until both weapons are out of ammunition. Hopkinson was unarmed. Singh surrendered on the spot, pleaded guilty, and was hanged in January 1915. Is Mewa Singh a Canadian martyr for assassinating an unarmed Canadian immigration officer inside a courthouse?
