“In fact, it’s fallen by over 50% from where it was at its peak,” Miller said. “So the secretary, along with Secretary Austin, thought it was appropriate to make clear to the government of Israel that there are changes that they need to make again, to see that the level of assistance making it into Gaza comes back up from the very, very low levels that it is at today.”

At the property, the couple met two other workers who were also Indonesian.

Immediately, they asked what type of jobs Dimas and Bella had been promised.

When the couple replied, "to harvest and pack cucumbers", the other workers told them those jobs did not exist and that they had been lied to.

Instead, they had to do heavy manual labour to renovate the farm, which they were told had been abandoned a year or two earlier.

The killing of a Sikh separatist in Canada last year was part of a broader campaign of violence against Indian dissidents directed by a senior official in the Indian government and an operative in the country’s spy agency, according to Canadian officials who cited intercepted Indian communications and other newly acquired information. 

Canadian authorities have also identified at least six Indian diplomats serving in Canada who were directly involved in gathering detailed intelligence on Sikh separatists who were then killed, attacked or threatened by India’s criminal proxies, Canadian officials said.
