The Canadian Muslim Network Tribute to Civil Liberties in Canada: In Honour of Maher Arar and Monia Mazigh Statement Delivered on behalf of the Canadian Muslim Network by Dr Tyseer Aboulnast, O.
The Canadian Muslim Network is proud to have organized this incredible event to pay trib ute to our cherished civil liberties in Canada, to recognize the massive effort that many in this room exerted to ensure we restore our civil liberties and pro tect them for the future of our children and to remind ourselves that while we have reasons to celebrate our recent successes, the road ahead is still long.
Canada 50 Aboulnast : The Canadian Muslim Network Tribute to Civil Liberties is a country that took enormous pride in its charter of rights and took its char ter of rights very seriously.
And precisely because it is Canada, we found ourselves in a country where individuals ranging from elected politicians from all parties, to lawyers, journalists, human rights activists and most importantly regular average Canadians rallying behind Monia Mazigh’s relentless efforts to bring the case of Maher Arar to the attention of the public and later rallying around Maher himself.
Once the Canadian public was aware of the facts of the case, we quickly realized the reality that this erosion of the rights of one Canadian is nothing short of a gigantic step towards the erosion of civil liberties as we know it in Canada.
Both Justice O’Connor reports, specially the second report calling for oversight by parliament must be implemented, and implemented in its true 52 Aboulnast : The Canadian Muslim Network Tribute to Civil Liberties spirit.
