NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION IN SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINIAN
REFUGEES FACING DEPORTATION FROM CANADA
Thursday April 8th, 2003

-----------------------------------
In Montreal - Picket in Solidarity with
Palestinian Refugees Facing Deportation
Thursday April 8th, 2003, 4-6pm
Citizenship & Immigration Canada
1010 St-Antoine West, (metro Bonaventure)
-----------------------------------

THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW!

A national day of action will bring the struggle of around 100
Palestinian refugees facing deportation from Canada to the streets of
major Canadian cities. Several deportations of stateless Palestinian
refugees are set to be executed in the coming days, and many more in the
coming weeks. With your participation and collective support we can halt
these deportations.

This day of action will also highlight the case of Khalil Ayoub, 67
Nabih Ayoub, 69 and Therese Boulos Haddad, 62, three Palestinian
refugees from the refugee camp of Ein El-Helweh in Lebanon who have
taken sanctuary in the Notre-Dame-de-Grace Church since the 30th of
January 2004, in order to escape deportation.

We will unite in solidarity against the inhumane policy of deportation,
which was clearly exposed in the case of Ahmed Abdel-Majeed, a
Palestinian from Ein El Helweh refugee camp in Lebanon, who was one of
the leading organizers of the Coalition Against the Deportation of
Palestinian Refugees. In November 2003, after spending more than 3 years
in Canada, Ahmed was forcibly detained and deported by Citizenship &
Immigration Canada to a United States County Jail from which he was
released under a $10,000 bond. In January 2004, he was deported back to
the refugee camp of Ein El Helweh.

The stateless Palestinian refugees - who have self-organized as the
Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees - will
continue their struggle against Citizenship & Immigration Canada's
attempt to deport them to the illegal and deadly Israeli military
occupation which plagues daily life throughout Occupied Palestine and to
the violence, poverty and persecution, which defines daily life in the
Palestinian refugee camps throughout Lebanon.

The Palestinian refugees are calling on you to join this action in
solidarity with their struggle for justice and dignity.

We will be demanding from Citizenship & Immigration Canada:

1. To stop the deportations of the Palestinian refugees from Canada,
2. To regularize the status of the Palestinian refugees in Canada.

THE STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE CONTINUES!
JUSTICE FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS & REFUGEES!

In Solidarity,
The Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees
