One hundred and fifty risk arrest to donate to Abdelrazik
Sanctions-busting telethon a tremendous success

A sanctions-busting telethon held in support of Abousfian Abdelrazik in Montreal yesterday was a resounding success. More than 150 people from across the country responded to the appeal to donate to Abdelrazik, though they were aware that they risked federal prosecution by doing so.

Project Fly Home is organizing the first ever "Sanctions-busting Telethon and Spaghetti Dinner" on April 28th to publicly celebrate our open defiance of the 1267 sanctions regime, challenging the fear, racism and isolation it creates and feeds on. The evening will include dinner and a host of poets, performers, speakers and actors who will join us for this truly unique evening.

On April 28th, 2008, Abousfian Abdelrazik went public with his story of detention, torture and exile and claimed refuge in the Canadian Embassy in Khartoum. He lived in the Embassy for more than a year, unable to leave the grounds, until the government was forced to bring him back to Montreal. Two years later, he is home but still not free.
