B’nai Brith Applauds Government for Deporting PFLP Terrorist
Toronto- April 29, 2013
B’nai Brith Canada is applauding Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney and the Government of Canada for their leadership in deporting Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad from Canada. The Jewish human rights organization, which has previously called for action on this file, is also questioning why he was permitted to abuse the Canadian legal system for 26 years, creating a burden for Canadian taxpayers of millions of dollars.
Frank Dimant, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada issued the following statement:
“We are pleased to see that action has finally been taken after so many years. We hope that Canada will always stand firm on dealing with war criminals and terrorists who abuse our refugee system and seek to use this country as a safe haven.
“While the government was working to deport a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist from Canada, the University of British Columbia allowed a Palestinian student group, which prominently displayed pro-terror propaganda on its website, to feature PFLP terror icon Leila Khaled. More work must be done to ensure that radical terror groups and their supporters are not permitted a platform to reach impressionable Canadian youth.
“Canadians should have no patience for violent criminals who lie their way into our country and abuse our legal system. Today is a proud day for all law-abiding Canadians.”
