22 February 2025: - In a shocking revelation, Australia’s intelligence agency, ASIO, has uncovered multiple plots by foreign governments to harm or assassinate critics living in Australia. Mike Burgess, the head of ASIO, revealed that at least three countries are involved in these dangerous activities. Their goal is to silence dissent, even on Australian soil.

In one case, a foreign spy agency tried to lure a human rights activist to a third country for a fake meeting. The plan was to stage a deadly “accident” once the activist arrived. Another plot involved plans to harm or kill individuals inside Australia itself. These actions are part of a global pattern where authoritarian regimes target critics abroad, including activists, journalists, and ordinary citizens.

Deep Sidhu’s Assassination: A Staged Accident  

This news brings to mind the suspicious death of Sikh activist Deep Sidhu, which many believe was not an accident but a carefully planned assassination similar to Australian spy boss revealed. Sidhu was a vocal supporter of Khalistan, a movement for Sikh independence, According to reports, Sidhu was convinced by a friend, Rina, to travel to Delhi during an election campaign. What happened next raises serious questions.

Sidhu’s death was officially labeled a car accident, but the details suggest otherwise. The crash occurred on a busy Delhi road, yet no photos or videos of Sidhu inside the vehicle were ever released. This is highly unusual for such a public incident. Even more suspicious is the fact that Rina, the friend who convinced Sidhu to come to Delhi, survived the crash without a single injury. She flew back to the United States the same night, just hours after Sidhu’s death. Many believe she was part of the plot to kill him.

Adding to the suspicion, Sidhu’s body was cremated the very next day, reportedly under pressure from authorities. This rushed cremation prevented any independent investigation into the cause of death. The Sikh community is convinced that Sidhu was assassinated by the Indian government because of his outspoken support for Sikh rights and Khalistan. The circumstances of his death point to a staged accident, not a random tragedy.

A Global Pattern of Repression  

Deep Sidhu’s case is not an isolated incident. It fits into a disturbing global trend called “transnational repression,” where authoritarian governments target their critics living in other countries. For example, in Canada, Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar was assassinated, and foreign agents are suspected to be behind it. In the United States, authorities stopped a plot to kill another Sikh activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. These cases show how governments are using covert operations to silence opposition, even beyond their own borders.

Why This Matters  

The assassination of Deep Sidhu and similar plots in Australia highlight a dangerous reality: critics of authoritarian regimes are not safe, even in democratic countries. These actions threaten not only individual lives but also the sovereignty of nations. ASIO’s efforts to stop these plots show how important it is for countries to work together to protect people from state-sponsored violence.

Deep Sidhu’s death was no accident. The evidence points to a calculated assassination, and his case serves as a stark reminder of the lengths some governments will go to silence their critics.
