INFORMATION SESSION & LEGAL FEEDBACK
PROTECT the RIGHTS Of IMMIGRANT& REFUGEES
STOP THE DEPORTATIONS

	Zool Suleman: Immigration lawyer
	Harsha Walia: Community Organizer (No One is Illegal Campaign)

Location:

This information session is a forum that seeks to offer information and 
support to affected

refugee and immigrant communities. Facing evident persecution, it is 
unacceptable that a

significant number of refugees are being rejected and deported in the coming 
days and months.

This situation points to the growing criminalization of asylum seekers 
world. The No One is

Illegal-Vancouver supports the struggle of all non-status migrants who daily 
confront and

challenge the Canadian State and its racist policies against immigrants and 
refugees.

	•This information session is organized by the No One is Illegal & Sponsored 
by Palestine
