Montreal Demonstration against Quebec Charter of Values

Montreal, Quebec, September 12^th, 2013 — The Muslim Council of Montreal (MCM) invites all Montrealers of conscience to join a peaceful demonstration this weekend against the Quebec Charter of Values recently unveiled by the Parti Quebecois government.

“This is the first of many actions to demonstrate our opposition to the PQ’s Charter of Values,” stated Salam Elmenyawi, president of MCM. “We call on all Montrealers to join us, as we voice our concerns against this policy of institutionalized discrimination, which contravenes not only the constitution and charter of rights and freedoms of Quebec and Canada, but also international human rights law. Together we will send a strong and clear message that we reject this tyranny and that we will protect the rights of all Quebecers and Canadians.”
