Throughout the past year the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees has led a Montreal based campaign to fight the deportation of more than 100 Palestinian refugees from Canada. A majority of the pending Palestinian deportations are slated for the coming weeks and months, so there are a series of actions and events, which are being organized to build support for the fight against Palestinian deportations.

The political power of collective action and popular support for the Palestinian refugees was clearly illustrated this past month with the case of Osama Saleh. After a persistent political campaign, Osama's pending deportation to the West Bank was halted by a Canadian Federal Court Judge. The Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees continues to highlight the case of Khalil Ayoub, 67, Nabih Ayoub, 69, and Therese Boulos Haddad, 62, three Palestinian refugees from the refugee camp of Ein El-Helweh in Lebanon who have taken sanctuary in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Church since the 30th of January 2004 in order to escape deportation.

Despite this fight against Palestinian deportations, Citizenship and Immigration Canada maintains that their decision to attempt to deport Palestinian refugees to the illegal and deadly Israeli military occupation, which plagues daily life throughout Occupied Palestine and to the violence, poverty and persecution which defines life in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon. Furthermore, there is clear Canadian acknowledgement of the danger and persecution faced by Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. This acknowledgment is outlined by the travel advisory issued by Foreign Affairs Canada .
