Shocking News for India In Canada
Khalistan Movement?
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown joined faith leaders on
Wednesday to condemn recent acts of vandalism against Hindu
temples in the Greater Toronto Area.
Vandals recently struck the Hindu temples of Ram Mandir in
Mississauga on Feb. 14 and Shri Gauri Shankar Mandir in
Brampton on Jan. 30. Anti-Hindu and anti-India graffiti was
spayed painted in black on the outside walls of the temples
in both cases.
Peel Regional Police consider the graffiti to be motivated
by hate and they say the incidents are connected.
In Mississauga, the graffiti on the temple called Indian
Prime Minister Narendra Modi a terrorist. In Brampton, the
graffiti said "down with India."
"Any act of intimidation, vandalism, or hate in a place of
worship is despicable," Brown told reporters at a news
conference in Brampton.
Dear friends,
I have been with the Coalition for Civil Freedoms (CCF) in a
variety of capacities since it's founding in 2010. It is a
very unique organization doing work that no one else is
doing. CCF helps people who have been unjustly imprisoned in
the so-called "war on terror". Most of the people we
advocate for are Muslim, and none have committed any
violence. They have been preemptively prosecuted before a
crime occurs and put in prison with very long "enhanced"
sentences. Some will spend their lives in prison.
What I personally view as our most important campaign of the
year is now underway - our 13th Annual Ramadan Gift Program.
Ramadan is a very important month for Muslims, and it is
particularly hard to be imprisoned away from friends and
family during that month. To help brighten their lives, CCF
sends each prisoner $100 to use for special items from the
commissary, phone calls home and more. There are many things
in federal prisons that the prisoner has to pay for, and
this gift is very important to them. Many prisoners have
told us that they appreciate the money, but even more
important is to know that they are not forgotten.
We will be sending these gifts to 250 prisoners this year.
Six of them are pictured here. We also send emergency funds
to prisoners. We need to raise $30,000 to cover these costs
by March 12.
Please consider helping us, and brightening the lives of 250
prisoners.

Distinguished Attorney Responds to Nadrat Siddique's
Report on the Suffering of the saintly Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman
[The Blind Sheik].
Thomas Ruffin
Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman showed so much courage, so much
political and moral courage, against the fascist-racist
regime of the United States that we should never forget his
example.
Under no circumstances should the devil, that is, the United
States, be permitted to destroy saintly teachings toward
liberation and moral uplift. Under no circumstance should
the conscientious defiance of Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman be
forgotten.
On behalf of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and all other freedom
fighters selflessly in love with oppressed people, I quote
the Last Poets to say: "Blessed are those who struggle.
Oppression is worse than the grave. It is better to die for
a noble cause than to live and die a slave".

Dear Friend
Keith LaMar's execution date has been set: November 16,
2023.
Keith went on hunger strike on Monday.
Keith LaMar is both innocent and a victim of prosecutorial
misconduct and the willful suppression of key evidence.
Keith directly challenges the system of state power and
state violence: the same system that framed him for murder.
Keith LaMar and I were plaintiffs in "Hanrahan v. Mohr". We
proved the 1st Amendment is worth fighting for. We
challenged the Ohio Department of Corrections. We defended
the right of Keith and others in the Lucasville 7 plus to be
able to tell their story.
Together the prisoner plaintiffs and the journalist
plaintiffs in Hanrahan v. Mohr sought to make the promise of
the constitution real. The case was initiated and litigated
by Alice and Staughton Lynd, who understood that speech is a
the foundation of dignity, self determination and ultimately
justice.
Today, we stand again with Keith LaMar. We seek justice.
Keith is strong, articulate, and innocent.
We will fight to prevent his death and his execution. We
will demand his release.
We will amplify his quest for freedom.
There is absolutely no physical evidence that Keith LaMar
murdered anyone, much was the ring leader of the murders of
no less than four people inside. The state presented
testimony of other prisoners who actually participated in
the murders at Lucasville Correctional Facility, who named
Keith as the ringleader, and who were given deals and in one
case never prosecuted. The state supressed evidence of
Keith's innocence, evidence they had in their possession and
purposefully suppressed at Keith's trial.
The key suppressed evidence (Brady violations), were
actually entered into evidence and used by prosecutors in
subsequent Lucasville trials. When this grave injustice was
brought to the attention of the courts, the courts denied
Keith and his attorneys a retrial.
The Sixth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme court upheld the
prosecution's claim that these critical documents did not
have to be turned over because they would not be "material".
These rulings suggest that the judges believe that not one
juror would have been swayed by impeachment or evidence of
innocence, that somehow that the weight of the other
(non-existent) physical evidence would have convicted him.
Keith's defense was denied the basic right to all the
statements of those who testified against him including
statements that could have exonerated him. (See Lucasville
Uprising by Staughton Lynd and other materials by Staughton
and Alice Lynd)
Keith now has run out of direct appeals. The only thing
standing in the way of his execution in November is Catholic
Republican Governor Mike DeWine.
Keith has fought for his innocence during the full thirty
years that he has also endured solitary confinement. His
passionate Prison Radio commentaries and his power book
Condemned detail this ordeal. (You can buy his book
here)
It's urgent that we take action to support Keith's legal
fight and bring attention to his unjust treatment. Visit
KeithLamar.org
to learn more about his case and how you
can help.
We must keep in mind, as Keith embarks on this hunger
strike, that the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and
Corrections (ODRC) Hunger Strike Directives insists that
"necessary force" will be taken for those that do not comply
with directives.
It is more than ironic that that tradition of protest to
death by hunger strike- by someone with a date an execution
date- is being met with force, to keep him alive.
This exposes the fact that the system does not just want
Keith's death, they want his silence while they kill him.
They fear what he represents, his cause, his case and his
voice.
Keith has been told that escalating to a hunger strike will
result in him being placed in TPU with the loss of his
earned privileges (including communication and full-contact
visits, etc.).
We will require the ODRC to attend to Keith's medical needs
thoroughly during his hunger strike and to discontinue the
threat of punitive measures for acting well within his right
to peacefully protest the abuses he is suffering. He must
not be cut off from communication with his loved ones.
When We Fight, We Win,
Noelle Hanrahan, Esq.
Legal Director

JI vs PPP Corruption.
February 24-26
Jamaate Islami has won a huge victory all across Karachi in
local elections. However PPP has come out with some moves
which prevent JI from appointing a mayor for Karachi. JI
follows non-violent processes, so it is investigating
peaceful methods to uncover pro-PPP corrupt election
activity. Hafiz Naeemur Rahman, JI leader in Karachi, is
striving to bring about peaceful conclusion. He is bringing
original documents to expose the fake activity. JI has
received the most votes and won the most numerous seats,
In Punjab, JI ameer Sirajul Haq addressed large gatherings
in 6 cities against the regime's deals with American and
other overseas funding organizations which are creating
inflation and high prices which are undermining the way of
life of the masses. He is comparing the masses' life style
with the life style of the ruling elites. He supports
university education for women. [Numerous women are
supporting JI.]
[A female speaker in Parliament. Her name, we think, is
Aftab, exposed PPP leaders whom she claimed went overseas to
support Ukraine, received millions of dollars, but no one
knows where the money went.
PPP corruption is going unchecked.]
In Gwadur the JI leader, Maulana Hidayatullah, who has mass
support was arrested a week back and remains in prison. The
army corp commander is threatening that if there are any
more protests, he will "break their legs." The protestors
are unarmed and simply chant slogans for justice.
USA
[New Trend report]
President Biden went to Ukraine and pledged open ended
unlimited support to the Jewish leader of Ukraine.
That is not the way to end conflict. Peace negotiation is
the way.
Reports indicate that USA has already given $60 billion to
Ukraine and there are no signs that the war will end.
In response to Biden, Putin gave a two hour long speech. No
signs that Russia will retreat at all.
Observers say that Biden has made a major blunder by writing
a blank check.
Historians remember that Germany advanced right up to Moscow
during the Second World War and then was trapped and
defeated at Stalingrad.
Please stop funding and arming Zelenski, At least give some
accounts of how the money is neing used.

Editorial

Bombing Civilians is Barbaric.
Russia is doing it but what about Saddam Hussain's Baghdad,
Kandahar, Aleppo, Raqqa. Mosul, ISIS? What about the bombing
of German cities?
American TV is replete with detailed reports of Russian
bombing of Ukraine.
We often forget that the term "Shock and Awe" began with the
bombing of Saddam Husain's centers in Baghdad. As Wikileaks
has shown, in addition to the bombing, American helicopters
machine gunned civilians on the ground.
There was a flood of bombs dropped on Kandahar although none
of the 911 attackers were Afghans.
For years America has been bombing ISIS. Their main cities
Raqqa and Mosul were reduced to rubble.
These are soft targets. ISIS does not have the weaponry to
shoot down any of the N ATO jets which have been routinely
bombing them.
When the NATO attack on Raqqa began, ISIS families were sent
by the fighters to the city of Mayadeen in Dar ez Zor
province, quite far from Raqqa. The Americans bombed the
defenseless families, wiping out hundreds of women and
children.
Russia and Iran did to eastern Aleppo what Russia is doing
today to Ukraine. There was complete silence in the
West.
In the Second World War, Germany defended its cities. The
Luftwaffe fought back with all it had. However once the
German air force had been overwhelmed, Britain, USA and
later the Soviet Union went after German civilians and
inflicted countless deaths and injuries Even the open city
of Dresden was not spared and hundreds of children who had
come for Valentine's Day were stacked up as piles of dead
innocents.
Why is the American air force so full of self praise?
Killing civilians should not be praiseworthy.
Latest Israeli Atrocity Back Fired.
Nablus (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) -
Palestinians posed for photos Friday at a new landmark --
the rubble of a house that was the site of Israel's
deadliest raid in the occupied West Bank.
Eleven Palestinians were killed and more than 80 wounded by
gunfire as Israeli soldiers raided Nablus in the broad
daylight of Wednesday morning, in what the army said was an
operation based on intelligence of an imminent threat from
Palestinian militants.
Only 48 hours later, a Palestinian family gathered to take
snaps in the ruins of the house that has become a memorial
among the ancient Ottoman mosques and cobbled streets of
Nablus' Old City.
A sabre of light cut through a gaping chasm in the ceiling
-- an artificial porthole left by an Israeli rocket fired
during the operation.
"How is it possible that... hundreds of soldiers armed with
rifles and missiles enter an area inhabited by 200,000
unarmed civilians in order to arrest or kill a person?"
asked Nasser Mahamadeh.
"The people here are all with the resistance, and these
incidents make the resistance more powerful and make people
turn more towards the resistance," the 57-year-old said as
he surveyed the destruction.
"If there were 10 resistors before, now they will become
1,000 resistors, and so on."
A spokesperson for the Israeli military said that "about 150
personnel" were involved in Wednesday's raid.
Nablus' Old City has become a focal point of increased
tension in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the
emergence of a new militant group known as the Lions' Den
last year.
Israel has accused the group of carrying out attacks on
Israeli targets, including the killing in October of a
soldier in the West Bank.
Wednesday's raid was just the latest in a string of deadly
military operations in the West Bank which have seen scores
of Palestinians killed.
