Montreal, March 10th, 2004 -- A crowd of approximately fifty people showed up in front of the American consulate in Montreal at around 1:00 PM today. The diverse group of protesters was there to call for solidarity with the Iraqi people, which is currently experiencing a brutal escalation in repression on the part of the American occupation forces. Representatives of several militant groups, including Mohamed Kamel of the Canadian Muslim Forum, and Mary Foster of the Iraq Solidarity Project, called on people to oppose the continuing occupation of Iraq, and to shed light on the human costs of US imperialism, in Iraq and elsewhere.

The speakers also denounced Canadian and international news media, which often portray the Iraqi resistance as terrorism, even if there's no doubt, in light of past history and international law, that resisting foreign invasion is considered legitimate.

"The occupation of Iraq is illegal. It is criminal. The resistance is legitimate, necessary, inevitable. The people of Iraq have an inalienable right to fight the occupation, for self-determination, and for national liberation," said Mr Kamel.

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.
