Protest indefinite immigration detention in Canada
December 14, 2013
Migrants in Lindsay, Ontario, have been on strike since September 17th. They have gone on hunger strike (two of them for over 60 days), refused to attend their detention hearings or enter their cells; and participated in other political actions. Striking migrants have faced reprisals with many deported, locked up in segregation, moved to other prisons and denied access to legal counsel. Yet actions have continued. A demonstration is now planned at Lindsay jail at 1pm on December 14th, with migrants on the inside organizing a 24 hour fast.
Time: 1:00 pm
Venue: Lindsay jail
Location: Lindsay, ON
