Criminalizing Refuge & Solidarity
Le Mus茅e de l'Holocauste de Montr茅al, M茅decins Sans Fronti猫res Canada et le Centre sur les droits de l'homme et le pluralisme juridique vous invitent 脿 une table ronde (en anglais) sur la criminalisation des r茅fugi茅s avec le professeur Fran莽ois Cr茅peau, Rachel Kiddell-Monroe et Hany Shokair. La table ronde sera anim茅e par la journaliste et 茅ditorialiste Laura-Julie Perreault (La Presse).
Alors que les d茅placements forc茅s dans le monde battent des records, les 脡tats mettent en place des lois de plus en plus restrictives au nom de la s茅curit茅 et qui criminalisent les personnes migrantes ou qui demandent l'asile. La criminalisation de la migration forc茅e viole le droit international des r茅fugi茅.e.s et les droits de la personne. Encore pire, on interdit aux travailleurs et travailleuses humanitaires d'aider les r茅fugi茅.e.s, ce qui entra卯ne ce que les ONG ont appel茅 la "criminalisation de la solidarit茅".
