By the Seriously Free Speech Committee Via the Canadian Dimension blog

Imagine you go to a public meeting on the Middle East; you see a humorous parody of the local daily, pick up a few copies and hand them out. Six months later you are served with a writ of summons that charges you with producing the parody, that threatens to cost you tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, that takes up hundreds of hours of your time and aims to prevent you from expressing your opinions in future. Impossible? A Kafkaesque fantasy? This is what is happening to Mordecai Briemberg in Vancouver today and we need your help to stop it.]]> http://briarpatchmagazine.com/2008/04/15/canwest-slapps-free-speech/feed/ Urgent Action to stop secret trials in Canada and end two-tier justice and deportations to torture http://briarpatchmagazine.com/2008/02/13/urgent-action-to-stop-secret-trials/ http://briarpatchmagazine.com/2008/02/13/urgent-action-to-stop-secret-trials/#comments Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:58:55 +0000 dave http://briarpatchmagazine.com/2008/02/13/urgent-action-to-stop-secret-trials-in-canada-and-end-two-tier-justice-and-deportations-to-torture/ http://briarpatchmagazine.com/2008/02/13/urgent-action-to-stop-secret-trials/feed/
