The Coalition Justice for Adil Charkaoui formed in Montreal in a matter of days after Charkaoui's abrupt arrest.
 
The Coalition is an alliance of Muslim groups, refugee and immigrant rights organizations, anti-oppression groups and the Charkaoui family.
 
We demand 1) the immediate release of all Security Certificate detainees, 2) a fair trial (if any case exists), 3) an end to deportation proceedings against the five, 4) the abolition of "security certificates", 5) an end to deportations to torture and 6) an end to the racist scape-goating of Muslim and Arab communities. 
 
The Coalition also demands the closure of "Guantanamo North", the high security prison that was opened on the grounds of Millhaven in April 2006, specifically for people held under security certificates, further institutionalizing the illegal security certificate regime.
