Protest the Detention of Ismael-Khaqi!

Release all detained refugees in Canadian prisons!

April 29, Tuesday, 2pm
North Fraser Pre-Trial Centre
1451 Kingsway, Port Coquitlam

Ismael-Khaliqa is a well respected Islamic scholar from the town of
Karbala in Iraq. He fled his home just before the Americans invaded,
with his wife and two of his seven children.  They had to leave the
other five children behind because they were afraid that they would not
make it on their long journey through Turkey, Europe and finally to
Canada.  They have pled refugee status here in Canada and for no good
reason the authorities have placed Ismael-Khaqi in jail.  He has been
detained since April 11th.

Come protest his detention and the detention of all refugees fleeing
persecution and war!
