Resisting Palestinian Deportations in Montreal

dragonfly, Saturday, July 19, 2003 - 08:03

Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees

Currently in Montreal there are over 100 Palestinian refugees who are facing deportation from Canada in the coming days, weeks and months. Most of the refugees are from the refugee camps of Lebanon and from Occupied Palestine. They have claimed refugee status in Canada over the last couple of years. Systematically Palestinian refugee claims are being rejected by Immigration Canada post September 11th.

A solidarity march has been called for Saturday July 19th at 1pm on the corner of corner of Guy and de Maisonneuve, to build concrete solidarity for Montreal's Palestinian refugees, as they organize to fight against Citizenship and Immigration Canada's attempt to deport them to the illegal and deadly Israeli military occupation which plagues everyday life throughout Occupied Palestine and to the violence, poverty and persecution which defines life in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon.

This march has been called by the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees in solidarity with over 100 Palestinian refugees who are facing deportation from Canada in the coming days, weeks and months.

"Stateless and Deported" has been called to build concrete solidarity for Montreal's Palestinian refugees, as they organize to fight against Citizenship and Immigration Canada's attempt to deport them to the illegal and deadly Israeli military occupation which plagues everyday life throughout Occupied Palestine and to the violence, poverty and persecution which defines life in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon.

The Palestinian refugees facing deportation have been self-organizing, with their allies, the past several months. The Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees is seeking the support and solidarity of groups, organizations and individuals from Montreal & beyond for the Campaign to Stop the Deportations Palestinian Refugees. This march in solidarity with Montreal's Palestinian refugees will be demanding that Citizenship and Immigration Canada: 1) Immediately stop all deportations of Palestinian refugees & 2) Accept Palestinian refugee claims, thus giving them the title of Landed Status in Canada.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
