I wish to take this opportunity to wish good luck to Benamar and all the kind folks who will be marching with him on the 30th. Good luck!

Also, I’d like to remind everyone to keep spreading the word, tell your friends and family about this case and our petition… And to those who’ve taken it upon themselves to write their own personal letters to their representatives or to Editors of newspapers (online and off), thank you as well!

Though Ben has indeed finally won his refugee case, it’s not over yet. Still—no public review has been forthcoming. Not acceptable. Let’s keep making noise.

The latest from Toronto Action for Social Change…

Matthew Behren for Toronto Action for Social Change, writing at Straight Goods, asks readers to support Benamar’s cause and sign our petition.

That’s the latest. Thank you Matthew Behren and Straight Goods.

Everyone please keep spreading the word… let’s flood that petition with signatures before the 30th…

Petition problem hopefully solved

Please go here:

…to sign the petition! We’ve had some problems with the original one; none of those signatures were lost, but since it’s not working at this time, we’ve provided a petition right here on benamar benatta dot com for you to sign. Your signatures and comments will be added to the original one, which can be seen here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/canadians-need-the-truth-about-benatta (opens in a new window).

I’m testing it now to see if it works and if it is sufficient to meet our needs.
