RALLY AGAINST "GUANTANAMO NORTH"

Oppose the opening of a new prison for non-citizens detained
without charge
without trial
under secret evidence and suspicions
under threat of deportation to torture
indefinitely

Saturday, 13 May, 12pm (noon)
Complexe Guy Favreau
(Rene-Levesque, corner St-Urbain. metro Place des arts)

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 !
