Conferencia de Prensa mañana

Urgent: maintenons la pression pour arrêter la déportation de Paola Ortiz! SVP Diffusez!
*ENGLISH VERSION FOLLOWS*

Les autorités d’immigration ont temporairement reporté l’expulsion de Paola Ortiz, mère de deux jeunes enfants canadiens. Mme Ortiz a subi un malaise ce matin à l’aéroport et le personnel médical de l’aéroport Trudeau l’a jugée trop souffrante pour voyager. Cette suspension temporaire survient également dans le contexte de pressions importantes de la part du public en soutien à Paola Ortiz.
Maintenant plus que jamais, il est essentiel d’intensifier la pression sur les autorités fédérales afin de suspendre son expulsion vers le Mexique, un pays qu’elle a fui en 2006 pour échapper à une situation de violence sexuelle et conjugale de la part de son fiancé d’alors, un agent dans la police fédérale mexicaine.

Urgent: Keep up the pressure to stop Paola Ortiz’s deportation! And spread the word!

Following an enormous show of public support for Paola Ortiz, immigration authorities have temporarily postponed the deportation of the mom of two young Canadian children, originally scheduled for this morning, after medical personnel at Trudeau airport deemed her too unwell to travel.

Now more than ever it is essential to step up the pressure on federal authorities to suspend her pending deportation to Mexico, a country she fled in 2006 to escape a situation of sexual and conjugal violence of the part of her then-fiance, a federal officer in the Mexican police.

Please keep up the calls and emails to the feds! And spread the word via your email lists and social networks!

Trudeau airport was also overrun this morning by Paola’s friends, neighbours and members of Solidarity Across Borders, as well as a strong showing of TV and radio journalists who are closely covering our mobilization against yesterday’s decision to go forward with this outrageous deportation that will break up a Montreal family, and rob two special needs Canadian citizens, aged 2 and 4, of their mother.
