This month's No One Is Illegal radio show focusses on the struggle against security certificates and secret trials. Excerpts include:
-> SHERENE RAZACK: Sherene is the author of "Looking White People in the Eye: Gender, Race, and Culture in Courtrooms and Classrooms" and "Dark threats and white knights: The Somalia affair, peacekeeping and the new imperialism." We play her testimony from the People's Commission into Immigration "Security" Measures. (11:01)
-> HASSAN ALMREI: Hassan has been detained without charge since October 2001, one of the Secret Trial Five. For almost four years he was held in solidarity confinement, and he has undertaken several long-term hunger strikes to obtain basic rights while in prison. (9:17)
-> KAREN COQ: Karen is an organizer with No One Is Illegal-Kingston, and is active in mobilizing against the "Guantanamo North" prison at Millhaven, near Kingston, Ontario. (8:48)
-> AMIR HODHOD: Amir is a refugee from Egypt, active with the Worker's Solidarity Network and Solidarity Across Borders in Montreal. We play an excerpt of a speech by Amir outside the offices of Immigration Canada, just three days before a scheduled deportation on April 3, 2006.
