Abousfian Abdelrazik

TO BREAK THE SILENCE AND END THE FEAR:
ABDELRAZIK SPEAKS FOR JUSTICE

After six harrowing years in exile, Abdelrazik is home -- but his struggle is not over. In 2006, without his knowledge and with no opportunity to respond, Abdelrazik’s name was placed on the UN’s “1267 List”. This Kafka-esque list imposes a travel ban and total asset freeze on listed individuals.

As a result, Abdelrazik is denied access to the basic essentials of life. Canadian regulations implementing List 1267 prohibit anyone from providing Abdelrazik with any material aid - including salary, loans of any amount, food or clothing--even health insurance.

On tour with Project Fly Home, Abdelrazik will speak about his experiences and his on-going struggle for justice, as he seeks to re-establish a normal life in Canada. He will be in Ottawa/Gatineau on October 2 and 3. (More about the tour)

ZUCCHINI CAMPAIGN

zucchiniWe sent zucchinis to War Minister O'Connor one year ago because children were starving in Afghanistan.

On September 5, 2006, the respected Senlis Council released a report that stated children are starving in Afghanistan. Foreign military expenditures in that country outpace development and reconstruction spending by 900% .

Two years later, the crisis deepens, with no action on starvation!

In an August, 2007 report, the Senlis Council slams the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) for failing to answer key questions about where and why aid that’s been promised has not appeared on the ground in Afghanistan.

So now is the time to send a Zucchini to Canada's New War Minister, Peter MacKay.   Here's how!

This campaign was initiated by Homes Not Bombs.  Read the full story here.

COUNTER-RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN

The military has launched a new recruitment campaign to sign up youth needed in Afghanistan.  This campaign is called Operation Connection.  In General Hillier's words: "...we're moving from a passive approach on recruiting where essentially we sat around waiting for you to come to us to a more active and aggressive one..."

To help young people withstand this pressure, ACT for the Earth has launched a counter-recruitment campaign called Operation Objection. Check it out and be sure to tell all concerned parents and young people you know about the website:  http://operationobjection.org.

NOWAR-PAIX (Network to Oppose War And Racism - Pacte contre l'Agression,
 l'Intolerance et la Xenophobie) is a volunteer activist coalition in Ottawa, Canada.
