A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:
“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

As long as I have known @yipengGe, he has been committed to equity, anti-racism and justice. He has been unjustly suspended from residency, without due process, for supporting Palestinian human rights. Please tell @OttawaU this is not OK. change.org/p/reinstate-dr-yi…

This is the full announcement from @SeanFraserMP. $97 million is a significant amount for @cityoftoronto — but it isn't enough. We know the federal government has the money; it must commit the full $157 million needed to ensure safe shelter and supports for all asylum seekers.

Hemedti is represented by a Canadian PR firm in Montreal and I just have to say I will never understand the level of evilness you must posses to take a job where you help a genocidal warlords image as he actively leads the destruction of a country.

Early historical models of Qur'an schools:
1- Even before Meccan Muslims could publicly meet, multiple places housed regular group recitation and instruction. Dār al-Arqam was the first, serving as a secret gathering place for Quranic learning from the Prophet for three years.

This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested.
These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric.

Sitting with the fact that a Black woman was killed in Saskatoon and that videos of her death are circulating. Thinking of the disposability of Black life on the prairies. Thinking of Black death on the prairies. Thinking of our communities grieving.

JUST IN: Black People in Toronto are 230 percent (yes, you read that right) more likely to have the police point a firearm at them when they are unarmed, as compared to white people.
Don't be shocked at this racist brutality.
This is exactly what policing was designed to do.
Forked tongue, much @Rob_Oliphant? U will one day look back at ur time in Govt w/ disdain for lack of integrity & honesty u displayed on this issue. And u would've helped perpetuate a conflict that deserved more than mindless talking points. #shame
Just now in Parliament, @HMcPhersonMP mentions a new UN report on Israel’s violations against Palestinians, which Canada has shamefully dismissed out of hand. “Why won’t the government even consider this United Nations report and revisit its policy towards Palestine and Israel?”
