About the event
The Chinese government’s crimes of genocide against Uyghurs and other Turkic people in East Turkistan have been acknowledged by the House of Commons. However, despite the Canadian parliament’s explicit recommendations to resettle Uyghur refugees, the Canadian government has yet to take meaningful action to protect Uyghurs overseas that face possible deportation to China. Parliament Motion M-62 will be debated on October 25th, allowing MPs to show support for the motion ahead of the official vote. This is the time to take action! Join us in the University Centre for a day of advocacy!
12PM to 5PM: Mass email/calls to Members of Parliament in support of Motion M-62
5PM to 7PM: Panel with MP Alexis Brunelle Duceppe and MP Sameer Zuberi
7PM to 9PM: Screening of the documentary In Search of My Sister followed by a Q&A with the Director
