Jeremy Hinzman's lawyer, Alyssa Manning, is in federal court today, trying to have Jeremy's deportation order stayed. This happened with Corey Glass, the day before his scheduled removal, and Corey has since won leave to appeal. In the intervening time, there has also been a very positive decision in Josh Key's case, regarding a soldier being forced to participate in human rights violations or war crimes, and an individual's right to refuse such activity. Because of this, we are hopeful - we are trying to be hopeful - that today's decision will be positive. But we know it may not be. We don't expect to hear anything before day's end. There's an emergency meeting tonight, so I may have already left when the news comes down, in which case Allan will update the blog.
I am glad to see my name in your list. I will add a link to your blog in my own one
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're still reading me. :)
ReplyDeleteI rummaged through all the old comments, looking for your name and URL.
Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI just finished catching up on your blog. I haven't been online much over the holidays. Thanks for the link!
Once again, thank you for continuing to publish such a great blog. Reading the news and then reading your blog puts a whole different slant on things, and makes me dig deeper.
ReplyDeleteIt's also made me realize that in order for Canada to stay attractive, a lot of us who are already here have to maintain a sense of gratitude, ensure we don't get lazy, and speak up as often as needed.
Keep up the great work!
Oh my. Thank you so much. Excellent observation about life in Canada. That also reminds me that I'll still be an activist up there - a good thing! Thanks again for your high praise, I'll try to live up to it.
