Community organizations in Montreal say Canada is censoring a French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament, Rima Hassan, by preventing her from entering the country.<\/p>\n
Alternatives, Independent Jewish Voices and The Quebec Doctors Against Genocide had invited Hassan to speak at two conferences in Montreal.<\/p>\n
One conference was about anti-fascism and the rise of the far right, and the other on pro-Palestinian advocacy.<\/p>\n
Hassan said she had obtained an electronic travel authorization.<\/p>\n
But she said she cancelled her trip prior to boarding her flight to Montreal when Canadian authorities asked her to submit a new list of documents and information.<\/p>\n
Immigration Canada declined to comment, citing privacy and security issues.<\/p>\n
Jewish human rights group B\u2019nai Brith Canada said it sent information to Canadian authorities about Hassan and thanked the government for taking action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Community organizations in Montreal say Canada is censoring a French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament, Rima Hassan, by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":571366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,2338],"class_list":["post-571365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-montreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
