[news] Community Leaders Sound the Alarm

[Resist!ca]

"A delegation of community leaders will speak at the Ontario Regional offices of Citizenship and Immigration Canada tomorrow, in opposition to the imminent deportation of community activist and artist Wendy Maxwell Edwards. A request to meet with Irene Bader, Director of Ontario Regional, in order to call for a positive decision on Ms. Edward's Humanitarian and Compassionate Application, has gone unanswered." "Over 1,000 individuals and organizations have signed a petition in support of Ms. Edwards, and the Immigration Minister's office has been flooded with calls. A support rally has been scheduled for 12 noon on Friday at Vancouver's Immigration Canada offices, and a solidarity hunger strike is underway at Ryerson University."
