Khizr Khan cancels Toronto talk after travel privileges ‘being reviewed’: organizer
TORONTO — The organizer of a luncheon featuring a speech by the father of an American Muslim soldier killed in Iraq said Monday that the event was cancelled because the man’s “travel privileges are being reviewed.”
Ramsay Talks said Khizr Khan, who has publicly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for his anti-Muslim rhetoric, was scheduled to be in Toronto on Tuesday to talk about tolerance, understanding and unity.
“Late Sunday evening Khizr Khan, an American citizen for over 30 years, was notified that his travel privileges are being reviewed,” Ramsay Talks said in a statement on its Facebook page.
The company, which couldn’t be reached immediately for comment, didn’t say who is reviewing Khan’s travel privileges.
