CALL FOR URGENT ACTION: ENSURE THE GOVERNMENT COMPLIES WITH COURT ORDER TO BRING ABOUSFIAN ABDELRAZIK HOME

*Act now, before the government comes up with any more excuses*

Family members, lawyers and supporters of Abousfian Abdelrazik are delighted with today's Federal Court order directing the Federal government to issue Mr. Abdelrazik an emergency passport and to arrange transportation for his return to Montreal within thirty days.
The ruling found that Mr. Abdelrazik’s Charter right to enter Canada had been breached. The full decision can be found here:

However, Project Fly Home strongly agrees with the judge's remark that the breach "was done in bad faith".

To prepare against the possibility of more of the same bad faith, Project Fly Home is calling on all organizations and individual supporters to TAKE ACTION NOW to hold the government to the court order - before they have time to come up with more excuses.

As you know, the ticket that over 100 people from across Canada bought for Abousfian has been re-scheduled for 12 June. We suggest that this might be the easiest means for the government to bring Abousfian home promptly, in compliance with the court order. (However, if the government choses to bring Abousfian home more quickly than that, it is certainly welcome to do so!) At the same time, the civil society delegation slated to leave Montreal for Khartoum on Monday, June 8th to escort Abousfian home on June 12th has been postponed, but remains on standby.
