June 28th - Vancouver Coast Salish Territories - No One Is Illegal dropped
a large banner which read: “Canada Jails Refugees” above Highway 1 in
Vancouver/Burnaby this morning during rush-hour traffic. The group also
stickered and plastered the offices of Immigration Canada with messages to
scrap Bill C-4. The actions were in response to the reintroduction of
Human Smuggling Bill C-4 that targets refugees for mandatory imprisonment
and deportation.
* NOII-Van is releasing NEW material for our members, friends and
supporters to disseminate in this fight against Bill C-4:

>> Release Detained Asylum-Seekers!
>> Right to Stay, Freedom to Move, Right to Return!
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and Minister of Censorship and
Deportation Jason Kenney have re-introduced Human Smuggling Bill C4
(previously Bill C49). This is despite previous Bill C49 being rejected by
all opposition parties and hundreds of community, legal, health, human
rights, and migrant justice groups. Under the banner of combating human
smuggling and deterring the arrival of boats such as the MV Sun Sea, this
is a bill that blatantly criminalizes refugees and targets them for
imprisonment and/or deportation. By today’s standards, Harriet Tubman’s
Underground Railroad would have been considered a human smuggling
operation!
