1. The Twelve Year Tour

    Mohammad Mahjoub on speaking tour, May 2012

    Ottawa–Montreal–Kingston–Guelph–Kitchener-Waterloo–Toronto–London

    For almost twelve long years, Mohammad Mahjoub, a torture survivor, has been detained without charge in Canada. He was held for lengthy periods in solitary confinement and later under house arrest. All on the basis of secret information which the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has admitted was likely obtained under torture. Now, for the first time in twelve years, Mr. Mahjoub is permitted to travel outside Toronto.

  2. Day of Action: Twelve years of arbitrary detention

    Tuesday, 26 June 2012 will mark the twelfth anniversary of Mohammad Mahjoub’s arbitrary detention under a “security certificate”.

    The Justice for Mahjoub Network is calling for a day of action to protest twelve years of injustice, demanding the immediate release of Mohammad Mahjoub and the two other men held under security certificates, Mahmoud Jaballah and Mohamed Harkat.

    If you can’t come to Toronto, please consider organizing your own event to show your opposition to “security certificates” and your solidarity with Mahjoub and the others.

    Details of the Toronto event coming (relatively) soon!
