Abousfian Abdelrazik

"Sanctions-busting" event raising funds in defiance of UN 1267 regulations, Canadian law

Kitchener, Saturday June 11, 2011 - Local residents are organizing a fundraising barbecue in support of Abousfian Abdelrazik, the Canadian man who was imprisoned and exiled for 6 years in Sudan and who has since been struggling to have his name removed from the severely restricting UN Security Council 1267 list. "The purpose of our event is two-fold," says organizer Nadeem Lawji of Kitchener. "We want to raise money and awareness for Abousfian and his campaign to be removed from the list, and we also want to publicly demonstrate our disagreement with this blacklisting regime that profoundly damages people's lives without charge, trial or appeal"
