      A Kelowna woman is facing charges for threatening B.C. Liberal Premier Christy Clark and House Speaker Steve Thomson.

      Pavla Janeckova was charged for “uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm” against Clark and Thomson.

      The B.C. Prosecution Service announced the approval of charges in a media statement Tuesday (June 27).

      “The threats are alleged to have occurred on or about April 30, 2017 in Kelowna, British Columbia,” according to the statement.

      Clark represents Westside-Kelowna, and Thomson is the B.C. Liberal representative for Kelowna-Mission.

      Janeckova is scheduled to appear before a Kelowna court on June 30.

      The B.C. Prosecution did not provide further details about the alleged threats. The allegations have not been proven in court.

      The charges against Janeckova were approved by special prosecutor Kris Pechet.
