Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's exoneration of six Tsilhqot'in Indigenous chiefs—who were executed by the colonial government more than 150 years ago—should be followed by a similar move to right another historical wrong: the hanging South Asian political activist Mewa Singh.
Singh was executed in 1915 for assassinating a controversial immigration inspector, William Charles Hopkinson, in Vancouver.
Singh was the first Sikh activist to be hanged on Canadian soil for a political murder.
