Am so glad to (re) share that the 8-day hunger strike undertaken by migrant detainees at the Laval Immigration Holding Centre was partly successful: they were released! Hear thx for your support from a former hunger striker right here (ENG at 30 s) https://soundcloud.com/safa-utopia/fin-de-greve-de-liberation-la-lutte-continue /1
But the govt is still resisting their demands & refusing to release the remaining detainees. Former detainees continue to stand up for those left behind: a guard at the Toronto centre has tested positive for COVID-19, & it is urgent to #FreeThemAll, as quickly as possible /2
Keep calling, sending open letters, pics, and the hashtags #FreeThemAll #StatusForAll along with #HungerStrikeLaval, to Bill Blair, Bill.Blair@parl.gc.ca
