(Version français a suive) The Canadian Muslim Forum condemns the implementation of the No-Fly list and calls upon all citizens to report any violation of human rights Date: 19-06-2007 The Canadian Muslim Forum (CMF) condemns the implementation of the Canadian No-Fly list on Monday June 18th 2007 that represents nothing but false feeling of security as part of the post 9-11 syndrome. As if terrorists are going to travel with their own name and passport! And as if the threat is from the air only! The Canadian Muslim Forum (CMF) condemns denying people the right of free movement, without being informed and without being given the right to examine the case against them. This is a violation of human rights and jeopardizes Canadas reputation yet again. All Canadians, feels the need for security and peace of mind. However, by denying people the freedom of movement, we legalize the discrimination and the stereotyping without achieving security. Security will be achieved only when we all work together to establish a worlds peace built on justice and freedom of choice. The Canadian Muslim Forum (CMF) is urging the government to re-examine this unnecessary list and to move forward by presenting this list to the court and prosecuting those people in a legal and normal court without judging them based on information that experience has proven to be often inaccurate. The Canadian Muslim Forum (CMF) is calling upon all citizens who would be subject to this list or subject to any kind of discrimination to report it immediately and in detail his/her experience to any of the Canadian human rights associations, the CMF, transport Canada office of reconsideration and his/her MP, so we can keep track and deal with this new power abuse implemented by the government.
