New Revelations Raise Further Questions About Havana Syndrome and Canada's Duty to Its Diplomats

TORONTO, Sept. 30, 2026 /CNW/ -- The questions surrounding Havana Syndrome continue to demand answers.

New reporting by The Globe and Mail has revealed previously unreported information about Canadian intelligence activities in Havana during the same period that Canadian diplomats began experiencing serious and unexplained neurological injuries.

Havana Syndrome: Cuban and Canadian flags displayed side by side, representing the Canada-Cuba connection and the work of Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP.

The reporting raises important questions about what Canadian officials knew, the risks Canadian diplomats and their families faced, and how the Government of Canada responded.

Former Canadian intelligence officers and retired senior security officials are now calling for an independent parliamentary examination into the circumstances surrounding the incidents and Canada's response.

Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP Partner Paul Miller, counsel for Canadian diplomats and their families, said:

"Yesterday, Prime Minister Carney said, in part, that we owe a duty of care to Canadian diplomats who serve on the front lines on behalf of Canadians. I am concerned that we heard essentially the same words from Prime Minister Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland back in 2017, and the diplomats and their family members have not been taken care of in any meaningful way since the attacks in Havana.

"I am hopeful that Canada's new leadership will seriously look into how the attacks happened, why they happened, and, for the first time, take meaningful steps to address the injuries suffered by the diplomats and their family members whom Canada failed to protect. After years of uncertainty, our clients deserve answers."

For the Canadian diplomats and their families who have waited years for answers, the latest revelations matter. They served Canada. They became seriously ill while doing so. They deserve to know what happened to them, what was known about the risks they faced, and why they were not adequately protected.

HSH and its co-counsel remain committed to pursuing answers and accountability through the legal process.
