Bring Mohamed Cherfi home!

Posted by admin on Mar 8th, 2004

NATIONAL DEMONSTRATIONS ON TUESDAY, MARCH 9 IN SOLIDARITY WITH MOHAMED CHERFI

Immigration Canada, 300 West Georgia

To date, there are at least five cities confirmed for actions in solidarity with Mohamed Cherfi. Mohamed is currently detained in the United States, and facing imminent deportation to Algeria, where he will be imprisoned or worse. This past Friday, Mohamed was arrested by at least 15 police officers inside the Saint-Pierre United Church in Quebec City, where he had been given sanctuary by the Reverend Gerald Dore.

WE WILL BE DEMANDING: the regularization of all non-status Algerians; an end to deportations; a return of the moratorium on deportations to Algeria; the return of Mohamed Cherfi to Canada from the United States

WE WILL ALSO BE DENOUNCING: the Quebec City police, Quebec Immigration Minister Michele Courchesne, federal Immigration Minister Judy Sgro and federal Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan (responsible for the Border Services Agency), for their role in violating the sanctuary of the Saint-Pierre United Church in Quebec City, and in summarily deporting Mohamed Cherfi to the United States.
