Demand that Citizenship and Immigration Canada immediately stop
their racist policies.
Demo Monday December 10, 2001 at 1p.m.

The current climate of fear created by the Canadian government has led to immigrants and refugees, mainly of Arab and Middle Eastern descent, having their civil rights violated by Canadian security agents."
Since September 11, 2001, immigration officers have been ordered to "closely scrutinize" or "detain" all Arabs applying for immigrant or refugee status in Canada. The result has been the unjust jailing and deportation of countless men and women - guilty only of the crime of being Arab immigrants or refugee applicants.

Immigration officials refuse to even say how many people their secret police have rounded up and made "disappear" in detention centres where the rights and freedoms Canadians take for granted no longer apply.
This policy of detaining, imprisoning and deporting people based solely on ethnic origin amounts to "racial profiling". This type of systemic racism has no place in Canada and undermines the civil liberties and values that our country is based upon.

McGill Anti-Racist Action and Anti-Racist Action Montréal call on all Montréalers to come out on December 10, 2001 and demand that Citizenship and Immigration Canada immediately stop this racist policy and release all those who have been jailed for the "crime" of being an Arab immigrant or refugee.

Date : Monday, Decembre 10th, 2001

Time: 1:00 p.m.

Rendez-vous : the corner of PEEL and ST-ANTOINE

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.
