This march has been called by the Coalition Against the Deportation of
Palestinian Refugees in solidarity with over 100 Palestinian refugees who
are facing deportation from Canada in the coming days, weeks and months.
Most of the refugees are from the refugee camps of Lebanon and from
Occupied Palestine. They have claimed refugee status in Canada over the
last couple of years. Systematically Palestinian refugee claims are being
rejected by Immigration Canada post September 11th.

This march "Stateless and Deported" has been called to build concrete
solidarity for Montreal's Palestinian refugees, as they organize to fight
against Citizenship and Immigration Canada's attempt to deport them to the
illegal and deadly Israeli military occupation which plagues everyday life
throughout Occupied Palestine and to the violence, poverty and persecution
which defines life in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon.

The Palestinian refugees facing deportation have been self-organizing,
with their allies, the past several months. The Coalition Against the
Deportation of Palestinian Refugees is seeking the support and solidarity
of groups, organizations and individuals from Montreal & beyond for the
Campaign to Stop the Deportations Palestinian Refugees. This march in
solidarity with Montreal's Palestinian refugees will be demanding that
Citizenship and Immigration Canada: 1) Immediately stop all deportations
of Palestinian refugees & 2) Accept Palestinian refugee claims, thus
giving them the title of Landed Status in Canada.

STOP THE DEPORTATIONS OF PALESTINIAN REFUGEES!
JUSTICE FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS & REFUGEES!

Organized by the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian
Refugees, Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR), the No One is
