In-depth Summary
The article details the events surrounding a group of Indian protestors in Prince Edward Island, Canada who staged a hate crime hoax. The protestors, who were facing deportation due to expired visas, had previously staged a hunger strike that gained viral attention online.
After the failed hunger strike, the protestors set up an encampment in front of the provincial legislature and continued their protest. Last week, a tent occupied by the protest leader Rupinder Singh was set on fire in what was reported as a racially motivated hate crime. Rupinder managed to capture the incident on video and immediately took to social media, claiming they were attacked by “racist teens” who threw firecrackers at them.
The local MP, Sean Casey, a Liberal, was quick to condemn the incident as an “act of intimidation” due to “online abuse”, without waiting for the police investigation. However, the police later concluded that the fire was accidentally caused by a mosquito coil, and not a hate crime as alleged by the protestors.
Despite the police findings, the protest leader Rupinder continued to insist on the false claim of being attacked by racist teens with firecrackers, which has now become a meme. The public saw through the protestors’ hoax and mocked their absurd claims, with many Canadians expressing frustration at the protestors and the MP’s hasty condemnation without evidence.
