The PEOPLE'S COMMISSION on Immigration "Security" Measures held public
hearings in Montreal from April 21-23, 2006. The nine Commissioners heard
testimony from thirty individuals on the abuses which immigrants and
refugees face in Canada in the name of "national security"; including
racial profiling, denial of fair trials, use of secret evidence,
indefinite and arbitrary detentions, labelling, and
deportations to torture. (To view
photo-essay of public hearings: http://gallery.cmaq.net/peoplescommission).

The PEOPLE's COMMISSION was launched by grassroots
organisations to provide an alternative, popular forum for our
communities to consider these issues, as they affect us, from the starting
point of our own experiences of security.

The Commission's report will be launched at a POPULAR ASSEMBLY on 1 February
2007 at 3300 Crémazie East (St. Michel metro). The Popular Assembly will
organise follow up actions on the recommendations of
the Commission.
