RALLY AGAINST "GUANTANAMO NORTH"

Complexe Guy Favreau

The four Ontario "security certificate" detainees - Mahjoub (almost six years), Jaballah (on his third certificate), Almrei (four and a half years), Harkat (over three years) - were transferred to a new prison in Kingston, Ontario on 24 April.

Dubbed "Guantanamo North", the new six-cell facility was built especially for security certificate detainees and is run by the Canadian Border Services Agency. It establishes a dangerous precedent in Canada and signals the government's intention to keep refugees in indefinite, arbitrary detention - no charges, no trial, no end in sight, under threat of deportation to torture. The move to the new prison will also cut detainees off from their families and lawyers, adding a new layer of hardship to the unbearable situation they and their families are already living.

In coordination with groups in Vancouver, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa,
Quebec City and Halifax, we are calling for a demonsration to:

* denounce the establishment of "Guantanamo North";
* demand the immediate release of 'security certificate' detainees;
* call for the abolition of security certificates; and
* call for an end to deportations to torture.

***We appreciate your help in mobilising people to come out !
