PETITION
The Hon. Stephen Harper
Prime Minister of Canada
The Hon. Stockkwell Day
Minister of Public Safety
The Hon. Monte Solberg
Minister of Citizenship and Immigration
We the Undersigned are writing to request a halt to the deportation
of Mr. Al-Yamani. Mr. Al-Yamani entered Canada as a landed Immigrant,
by legal means, led a productive life and raised his family here.
Mr. Al-Yamani's status as a stateless Palestinian refugee highlights
the injustice suffered by hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who
are denied basic human rights.
We understand that the reason for deportation is past affiliation to
the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. We also
understand that Mr. Al-Yamani was not involved in any acts of
violence and that he severed his ties with the Popular Front in 1991.
Canada supports human rights and this applies to the Palestinians who
should be assisted rather than being silenced and removed from Canada.
We hope you can see your way to ending this two-decades-old ordeal by
allowing Mr. Al -Yamani to remain in Canada.
Sincerely,
No Name Phone # Signature

FURTHER BACKGROUND INFO AND MINISTERS' EMAIL ADDRESSES
Stop the deportation of Issam al Yamani
Act now to stop the deportation from Canada of Issam Al Yamani!
Canadian authorities recently issued a deportation order on Issam,
asking him to leave Canada on Thursday, 20 April 2006.
The deportation of Issam Al-Yamani is the most recent example of
attempts to silence and deport Palestinian refugees in Canada. Issam
has lived peacefully in Canada for over 20 years. All those who know
him attest to his tireless efforts on behalf of the Palestinian and
Arab
community in Mississauga and Toronto. Issam graduated from York
University and he has two Canadian born children currently attending
high school and university.
Issam was issued an immigrant visa by Canadian officials in Amman,
Jordan on March 21, 1984. He was subsequently granted permanent
resident status on arrival in Canada on April 27, 1985.
On May 17, 1988, Issam Al Yamani applied for Canadian citizenship.
Since that time, Canadian authorities have been attempting to deport
Issam due to his previous political affiliations with the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
For the last 21 years, Issam and his family have called Canada their
home. Yet, the Canadian government wants him to leave his home simply
because of his affiliation with the Popular Front.
You can act today to stop this from happening. No matter where you
live, write to the Canadian government and tell them to put a stop to
this unfair and immoral action.
Issam's father was one of the founding members of the PFLP. He grew
up in a community committed to the self determination for
Palestinians. Because of his father, Issam came to know many persons
in the Palestinian leadership. Issam had previously been a member of
the political wing of the PFLP but severed all ties in 1991. He has
never engaged in or been
in any way involved with acts of violence.
We call on all supporters of Palestinian and refugee rights to act
urgently to prevent the deportation of Issam Al-Yamani.
Please contact the Canadian Minister of Public Safety and Emergency
Preparedness, the Minister of Citizenship and the Prime Minister of
Canada, and ask them to halt his deportation and use their
discretionary power to grant Issam Al-Yamani permanent status in
Canada.
