Despite clear exculpatory evidence, in 2023, a French Court unjustly declared Dr. Hassan Diab guilty after a sham trial, and sentenced him to life in prison in a mockery of justice. 1/

ICLMG is dismayed that we must reiterate our 2024 calls to action:
- Canada must enact a two-way embargo on arms transfer to Israel (including support via the US).
-Canada must meet its obligation under international law to do everything in its power to stop the genocide. 1/ #cdnpoli

Canada must:

- Implement independent oversight of Canada Revenue Agency’s activities

- Thoroughly reform CRA’s approach to countering the risk of terrorist financing in the charitable sector, incl implementing the watchdog report's recs

- Abolish the CRA’s Review and Analysis Division (RAD) 1/

Le projet de loi C-9 vise à prévenir les crimes haineux, mais menace plutôt les droits et libertés de tous et toutes au Canada, y compris les communautés que le gouvernement souhaiterait protéger. Il doit être retiré!

Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, is aimed at preventing hate crimes but instead threatens the #Charter rights and civil liberties of all people in #Canada, including those communities that the government wishes to help protect.

Bill C-2, the rights-violating “Strong Borders” Act, is back in Parliament.
C-2 is anti-privacy, anti-migrant and anti-refugee and will make us all less safe. It can’t be allowed to pass!
For more details on why Bill C-2 must be stopped, our ongoing work & how to support us: iclmg.ca/help-protect...

ICLMG is one of 32 signatories to this call to withdraw Bill C-2, the "Strong Borders" Act - which would, among many other issues, force services to install “technical capabilities” to access Canadians’ encrypted communications & sensitive data.
