INFORMATION SESSION & LEGAL FEEDBACK

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.

by Palestine Community Center & Stopwar.ca
