About 300 people marched along Ste. Catherine St.
yesterday to protest against the threatened deportation of Palestinian refugee
claimants.
In Quebec, about 100 Palestinians from camps in Lebanon and the
occupied territories have seen their refugee claims rejected, according to the
groups that organized the event - the Coalition for Justice and Peace in Palestine and
the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees.
The march ended in front of Complexe Guy
Favreau, which houses federal Immigration Department offices.
