Resisting the
Deportations of Palestinian Refugees from Canada
Currently
in Canada there are 100 Palestinian refugees facing deportation in the coming
weeks. Most of the refugees are from the refugee camps of Lebanon and from
Occupied Palestine. They have claimed refugee status in Canada over the
last couple of years. This is a call for solidarity and support to groups,
organizations and individuals in Montreal and beyond for the Coalition Against
the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees, which was formed in February 2003.
The
Palestinian refugees are the grandchildren of Palestinian families who were
expelled from Palestine in 1948 and who have lived in unbearable and inhumane
conditions within the refugee camps of Lebanon and Occupied Palestine ever
since.
