Senator McPhedran moves motion - drafted and endorsed by Human Rights Research and Education Centre UOttawa, Montreal Institute of Genocide Studies, Raoul Wallenberg Center, and Rohingya Human Rights Network - to invoke the Genocide Convention on Myanmar. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sA_l-YdEyMv5q2BkoWEdfIo_NA1ycuf-/view?usp=sharing

Councillor Marvin Rotrand and Lionel Perez from the City of Montreal table the motion - drafted and endorsed by Human Rights Research and Education Centre UOttawa, Montreal Institute of Genocide Studies, Raoul Wallenberg Center, and Rohingya Human Rights Network - to urge the Federal Government to invoke the Genocide Convention on Myanmar. https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/councillors-demand-justice-for-rohingya-refugees-of-myanmar

Urge your local City Councillors, Provincial members of Parliament, and Federal members of Parliament to do the same. No nation should get away with genocide in the 21st century. Contact Rohingya Human Rights Network for more info. info@rohingya.net

Subject: [HR-rsch] Motion: International Accountability for Crimes of Genocide Against the Rohingya and Other Minorities.

Dear colleagues,

We wanted to bring to your attention the example of two Canadian cities adopting a motion about "International Accountability for Crimes of Genocide Against the Rohingya and Other Minorities”. These actions show great leadership and we hope other cities across Canada will do the same!

Cheers!

John Packer
