Clamour in Canada to call extortion an act of terror gains momentum
The New Indian Express Vishakapatnam
|November 16, 2025
IN the face of unabated extortion calls affecting the legal community in British Columbia (BC), the lawyers have demanded that the Canadian federal government classify extortion as a terrorism offence under the Criminal Code.
"The law society of BC is aware of recent incidents in which lawyers have been threatened with serious physical harm unless they provided substantial sums of money. If you are threatened in this manner, immediately contact the police in your jurisdiction. The police may involve the new extortion task force. The Canadian Border Services Agency has also recently joined the task force," read a statement issued by the Law Society of British Columbia on November 14.

AWESOME TWOSOME IN FEARLESS FILMMAKING
PARNA Sen’s 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981) was a landmark in my formative years as a film buff. I am not sure where I watched it. But what has stayed with me till date are Jennifer Kendal’s eloquent presence as the quiet and secluded Anglo-Indian teacher Violet Stoneham, and Ashok Mehta’s camera that captures the many shades of loss and solitude that imbue the film, and the textures of a fading world it is set in. It was about underscoring the tenuousness of a community as well as the vulnerability of an individual.
