>Message re�u de la Campagne pour arr�ter les proc�s secrets au Canada :
>
>Mohammad Mahjoub suspend sa gr�ve de la faim, gagne l'acc�s
>� des soins m�dicaux
>
>24 septembre 2005, Toronto - Le r�fugi� Mohammad Mahjoub, d�tenu en vertu
>d'un certificat de s�curit�, a accept� de suspendre
>sa gr�ve de la faim de 79 jours apr�s que le Gouvernement de l'Ontario ait
>sign� une entente s'engageant � lui donner
>acc�s � des soins m�dicaux qu'il r�clame depuis des mois.
>
>C'est � partir de son lit � l'infirmerie du Toronto West Detention Centre
>que Mahjoub, �puis� et affaibli, a donn� son accord � l'entente hier soir
>par t�l�phone � son avocate Barbara
>Jackman, et son �pouse Mona Elfouli. M. Mahjoub, un r�fugi� �gyptien d�tenu
>depuis juin 2000 sans accusation et sur
>la foi de preuves secr�tes, a fait cette tr�s longue gr�ve de la faim pour
>revendiquer de meilleures conditions de
>d�tention.
>
>Citant l'apppui extraordinaire qu'il a re�u de partout au
>Canada et m�me sur le plan international au cours des
>derni�res semaines, M. Mahjoub a dit � Je remercie tous les
>individus qui m'ont appuy�, en commen�ant par Mona, mes
>enfants, mes avocats, mon comit� d'appui � Toronto, et tous
>les autres individus pour leur appui et leur sympathie. Je
>demande � Allah de les r�compenser et de les rendre doux
>dans leurs cours les uns envers les autres. �
>
>Dans une lettre re�ue par Jackman hier apr�s-midi, le
>gouvernement ontarien a promis de permettre � des
>sp�cialistes m�dicaux d'entrer au centre de d�tention afin
>d'�valuer l'�tat de sant� de M. Mahjoub, notamment en
>rapport avec son h�patite C et sa blessure au genou. Les
>autorit�s gouvernementales ont �galement pris l'engagement
>de donner suite aux recommendations des sp�cialistes,
>incluant l'hospitalisation s'il y a lieu.
>
>M. Mahjoub demeure dans un �tat critique et risque de subir
>des s�quelles permanentes r�sultant de sa gr�ve de la faim
>de 79 jours men�e, comme le rappelle le Centre for
>Constitutional Rights (Centre pour les droits
>constitutionnels) de New York, pour obtenir des �
>conditions de d�tention minimalement d�centes �. Plus t�t
>cette semaine, Mahjoub avait enfin re�u une paire de
>lunettes qu'il demande depuis huit mois. Mahjoub a aussi
>re�u des assurances �crites de la part des autorit�s
>carc�rales qu'elles cesseront d'entraver arbitraitement
>les visites familiales comme elles le font depuis cinq ans,
>au point o� ce droit a �t� souvent bafou�. Cependant, les
>autorit�s refusent toujours d'autoriser des visites
>contacts mensuels avec les enfants de Mahjoub, �g�s de 6 et
>8 ans. Vu le refus absolu du gouvernement de n�gocier sur
>ce point, M. Mahjoub pr�voit s'adresser aux tribunaux pour
>faire reconna�tre ce droit. De nombreuse organisations
>canadiennes et internationales, dont le Centre pour les
>droits constitutionnels, ont � condamn� les conditions
>inhumaines auxquelles Mohammad Mahjoub est soumis �.
>
>� Nous devons maintenant mettre autant d'�nergie dans la
>bataille pour mettre fin aux d�tentions en vertu de preuves
>secr�tes, afin que mon mari et les autres hommes d�tenus
>puisse revenir � leurs familles � a dit Mona Elfouli hier
>soir d'une voix remplie d'�motion. Matthew Behrens du comit� d'appui, a
>ajout� � Nous nous
>r�jouissons de cette entente, mais nous trouvons cela
>honteux qu'un homme soit oblig� de mettre sa vie et sa
>sant� en p�ril pour obtenir des soins de
>sant� auxquels il a droit, d'abord � titre simplement
>humanitaire, et aussi en vertu des normes internationales. �
>
>Mahjoub est un des cinq
>hommes musulmans menac�s de d�portation vers la torture en
>vertu d'un certificat de s�curit�. Quatre sont encore
>d�tenus, dont le r�fugi� syrien Hassan Almrei qui a mis un
>terme � sa gr�ve de la faim de 73 jours au d�but du mois.
>Tout comme Mahjoub, Hassan Almrei, en d�tention solitaire
>depuis quatre ans, revendiquait de meilleures conditions de
>d�tention, notamment le droit � une heure par jour en
>dehors de sa cellule. Le cinqui�me, Adil Charkaoui, a �t�
>lib�r� mais sujet � des conditions extr�mement
>restrictives.
>
>Des manifestations contre les certificats de s�curit� ont
>eu lieu partout au Canada cette semaine, se terminant par

>Mohammad Mahjoub Ends Hunger Strike
>Secret Trial Detainee "Wins" Most Demands, but at What Cost?
>
>September 24, 2005, Toronto -- As he lay in the medical unit of Metro West
>Detention Centre last night on Day 79 of a hunger strike, a weak, exhausted
>Mohammad Mahjoub gave his consent to a written agreement with the province
>of Ontario that promised his long-standing demands for proper medical
>treatment would be met.
>
>In a letter received by Mahjoub's legal counsel, Barbara Jackman,
>the province has promised to allow medical specialists into Metro West to
>assess Mr. Mahjoub's medical conditions, including Hepatitis C and a knee
>injury. The province has agreed as well that it will respect the medical
>advice of those specialists and abide by their recommendations, including,
>if need be, hospitalization.
>
>Earlier in the week, Mahjoub finally received a pair of eye glasses
>(eight months after they were prescribed), and although they did not fit,
>he is likely to get them within a few weeks. Mahjoub also received a
>written agreement that officials at the detention centre would work to
>ensure that family visits would not be subject to the kind of arbitrary
>interference and outright denial that have marked the past five years.
>
>However, the issue of contact visits with his children remains
>unresolved and, given the government's absolute refusal to consider the
>possibility, Mahjoub vows to pursue this demand through the courts.
>
>Speaking from Metro West Detention Centre this morning, Mahjoub
>wanted to thank people around the world who have showed tremendous support
>during his hunger strike. "I thank every individual, starting from my wife,
>Mona, my kids, my lawyers, my support committee in Toronto, and every
>individual S for their support and their sympathy. I ask Allah to reward
>them all and S to make them soft in their hearts towards one another."
>
>Friends, family and supporters of Mr. Mahjoub, whose hunger strike
>has provoked international coverage and outrage, are troubled that such a
>simple agreement --doctors see a patient, doctors recommend
>hospitalization, patient receives hospitalization if required -- should
>have to take such a potentially lethal toll on Mr. Mahjoub. While pleased
>that Mr. Mahjoub has ended his hunger strike, they note he will likely
>suffer health complications from this 79-day hunger strike for the rest of
>his life. Why, they ask, couldn't the province have intervened months ago?
>
>Mahjoub had long been denied hospitalization for a recommended
>liver biopsy for undisclosed "security" reasons, so he was just as
>surprised as everyone else when he was briefly hospitalized last Tuesday
>for a short battery of tests, none of which related to Hepatitis C or his
>knee injury. Supporters of Mahjoub question the medical ethics of those
>doctors who told him he could likely go another 10 days to two weeks on
>hunger strike and had him returned to prison.
>
>Mona Elfouli, who along with her children, has struggled every day
>of the last three months with the consequences of her husband's hunger
>strike, is grateful for the support of so many people across Canada and
>around the world who put pressure on the provincial and federal
>governments.
>
>"Now we need to put that same pressure on the governments so they
>can stop the secret trial security certificates and return my husband and
>the other men who are still in jail to their families," she said last
>night, in reference to the Secret Trial Five, all subject to years of
>Canadian detention without charge on secret evidence.
>
>Mahjoub, like a victim of famine, is still in critical shape, and
>it will be a long and difficult climb back as he begins to eat, his health
>still very much in question. As he recovers from the hunger strike, he
>still faces many stresses: he awaits word on whether he may be released on
>bail, thus ending his indefinite detention, and on whether the Canadian
>government will continue pursuing his deportation to torture or death in
>Egypt.
>
>Hassan Almrei, a Syrian refugee who has spent the past 47 months in
>solitary confinement, ended a 73-day hunger strike September 3 at Metro
>West, and will go to court on October 11 seeking a court order allowing him
>the same rights as other federal inmates, including one hour of fresh air
>and exercise for his own knee injury. He too is awaiting a bail decision
>and is fighting government attempts to deport him to torture or death in
>Syria.
>
>Secret trial detainee Mahmoud Jaballah, also at Metro West for over
>four years, is currently challenging the provisions of the Immigration and
>Refugee Protection Act which prevent him from applying for bail while he
>fights deportation to torture or death in Egypt.
>
>In Ottawa, secret trial detainee Mohamed Harkat, held almost three
>years, will apply for bail at the end of October, while in Montreal, Adil
>Charkaoui, released in February under draconian conditions, will launch an
>application in early October calling for an end to his security certificate
>given the mental torture it has inflicted on him and his family. Both
>Harkat and Charkaoui are fighting deportation to torture or death in
>Algeria and Morocco, respectively.
>
>Protests against secret trials continue to grow across Canada, and
>this week coast-to-coast actions occurred, closing with a 24-hour vigil of
>support for Mahjoub in Vancouver. On Wednesday, groups and individuals
>including former Solicitor General Warren Allmand, the Committee for
>Justice for Mohamed Harkat, Campaign to Stop Secret Trials in Canada,
>Amnesty International, and Canadian Council for Refugees appeared before a
>Parliamentary subcommittee reviewing secuirt legislation, calling for an
>abolition of security certificates.
>

>am�ricaines viennent elles-m�mes de compl�ter leur propre enqu�te de
>s�curit� � son sujet et de conclure qu�il ne constitue pas une menace � la

>Il s�agit donc d�excellentes nouvelles! Mais nous ne pouvons oublier que

>I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to save the life of
>Mohammad Mahjoub, who has been detained without trial in an Ontario
>prison for over five years and is now on Day 75 of a hunger strike
>(Sept. 19) to demand minimally decent conditions of detention. His main

>liver biopsy has been denied), medical care for a knee injury,
>eyeglasses, and touch visits with his young children once a month.

>Mr. Mahjoub is very weak and at imminent risk of death or severe,
>permanent impairment. He has asked to be hospitalized and will accept an
>IV. There is a hospital unit inside the Toronto West Detention Centre, but
>prison authorities are refusing to send him there, stating that they will
>not hospitalize a hunger striker unless he is in a coma. By that time,
>there is a major risk of irreversible damage.
>
>Please intervene immediately to ask correctional authorities to
>hospitalize Mohammad Mahjoub without delay. In addition, please
>authorize a government representative to meet with Mr. Mahjoub's

>There are many ways that graduate students contribute to education and
>research, and not all of them are within the narrowly defined academic
>sphere. Graduate students played a part in the watershed 2005 Quebec
>general unlimited student strike. Graduate students are taking part in
>popular projects like Engineers Without Borders. They were involved in the
>academic and extra-curricular activism that led to the creation of the
>Women�s Studies field and graduate students continue to have a profound
>influence on the evolution of this rapidly growing domain of study. The
>academy itself is going through profound change, especially in graduate
>studies. There are new diploma programs, more and more private business
>programs, there is a greater emphasis on the creation of intellectual
>property, and the list goes on. These recent developments have created
>concerns among graduate students, especially among graduate students
>involved in costly but potentially very lucrative research projects. What
>is the relation of graduate students to the intellectual property they
>produce? What is their relation to the professors and/or corporations they
>do research for? These concerns dovetail with more longstanding graduate
>student issues of campus research and education work and the question of
>unionization. How are graduate student contributions to education and
>research (as TAs, RAs and marker-graders) recognized, remunerated and
>respected at union versus non-union Canadian universities? This is a
>conference that will bring graduate students from Concordia together with
>leaders and researchers from other Canadian universities to take a fresh
>look at these questions with the collegial debate and the spirit of
>inquiry that grads are known for.
