Vigil for U.S. Iraq War resister Kimberly Rivera at Federal Court

[2]

The minority Harper government is continuing to deport U.S. Iraq War resisters, against the will of the majority of Canadians and the direction of Parliament. War resisters Robin Long and Cliff Cornell are now in U.S. military prisons because the Harper government refused to respect two House of Commons motions (passed June 3, 2008 and March 30, 2009) which directed the government to stop deporting war resisters and to let them stay. Jeremy Hinzman and his family and Matthew Lowell are currently threatened with deportation.

On July, the Federal Court will hear an appeal by Iraq war resister Kimberly Rivera. Kimberly, along with her husband Mario and their three children, is appealing the negative decision on her Pre-Removal Risk Assessment.

Please come to this vigil to support the Rivera family and demand that the Harper government respect Canadian democracy and the will of the Canadian people.
