B.C. group fights disinformation on Afghan mission... a new countermovement has formed, one that lauds the Canadian Forces and its efforts in Afghanistan. Strange as it might seem, it's based here in Vancouver, where the political landscape tilts sharply to the left.
Founders of the Canada Afghanistan Solidarity Committee include poets, environmentalists and local authors who will never be mistaken for conservatives, such as Terry Glavin and Stan Persky. Among the many books Mr. Pesky has written is Boyopolis: Sex and Politics in Gay Eastern Europe; one can assume it is not on Rick Hillier's bedside table...
Appeal for Mohamed Kohail Execution SentencingWe endorse the Fair Court Hearing Appeal for Mohamed Kohail Execution Sentencing Petition to Canadian Government.
On March 3rd 2008 at 1pm local time in Saudi Arabia, the court sentenced a Canadian citizen, Mohamad Kohail to be executed by public beheading. This sentence was due to their link in Munzer Hiraki's death that took place January 2007, after having engaged in a school yard fight. Hiraki’s death was an accident due to his heart conditions, and not intentionally done.
The death penalty by beheading in Saudi Arabia is executed in public after Friday noon prayer by chopping off his head using a sword. The defendants did not have the right to have a legal representation in most of the trial sessions. It was mentioned in the news of family members concern about serious flaw in the legal procedure. During the hearing on March 3rd, the Kohail defense had brought two witnesses but the court did not take them into consideration. In fact, during the whole trial time none of the witnesses that were presented by the Kohail defense were considered. Out of three judges only two were present, and yet it was the clerk who announced the verdict and not the judges. In the end, we ask for the Canadian public to reach out and convince the Canadian government to interfere for a fair and justice trial. Kohail being a Canadian citizen should have the right to have the Canadian government to be by his side and make sure that this beheading of his innocence does not take place. We as citizens of Canada should do our utmost effort to help Mohamed get through this situation. Lets gather here so we can give him the support he deserves. The media is willing to get in contact with all those that Mohamed knew here and this will help his cause inshallah. Keep Mohamed in your daily prayers because he will need each one of them to have the Saudi court system to realize truth that is being hidden! |
