100th Anniversary of the Komagata Maru – Mass Rally
Posted by admin on Jul 17th, 2014
Sunday, July 27 1:00pm
This year marks the hundredth anniversary of an incident that occurred as a direct result of the racist policies of Canadian Government and the anti people laws it has enacted and enforced. The notorious “Continuous Passage Act of 1908†was one in a long list of such laws. These laws are also being enacted today, like bill C-24.
Passengers of the Komagata Maru endured ugly unwelcoming gestures upon their arrival in Canada, inhuman conditions while they awaited their fate in the waters of the Burrard Inlet, and death for 20 of them (a miserable life for the rest) on return.
The recent laws like the Super Visa (in the name of faster family reunification) and Bill C-24 (in the name of strengthening Canada’s citizenship act) are having devastating effects on the lives of Canadians.
Great News! Immigration officer’s decision on failed asylum seeker Jose Figueroa was unreasonable, judge rules

A senior immigration officer’s decision to deny permanent residency to a failed asylum seeker because of his links to a resistance movement in El Salvador did not take into account “exceptionally strong†humanitarian and compassionate reasons to let him stay, a federal judge has ruled in a case that activists say highlights how Canada’s laws can too easily peg someone as a security threat.
Jose Figueroa, who came to Canada as a refugee in 1997, was once a member of Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional (FMLN) that opposed El Salvador’s former military regime. He helped recruit for the FMLN and organized meetings but was not involved in the armed struggle.
Court Support for Jose Figueroa Postponed
Posted by admin on Jun 26th, 2014
The Federal Court hearing scheduled for July 2 has been postponed due to the death of a different judge — the judge hearing Jose Figueroa’s case has flown east for the funeral.
We will let you know when the new date is set. When the hearing takes place, we will gather outside the court house again, and show our support for Jose Figueroa, who remains in sanctuary due to an unjust deportation order.
