[OPIRG-EVENTS] Fri.Feb.22, noon - VIGIL against torture

[Katherine Gunn <kglist@magma.ca>]

Please attend a brief, silent VIGIL for: 

     SAFIYA HUSSEINI*  
and other Nigerian victims of 
   Court-Ordered Torture

  Friday, Feb. 22 at 12 noon,
    Nigeria House (embassy), 
295 Metcalfe St. at Gilmour St.              

*Safiya  is appealing a death-by-stoning sentence for having a child out
of wedlock.  Canada is committed to fostering improved human rights in
Nigeria, and has signed an expanded trade agreement to this effect, yet
amputations, floggings and stonings continue.  Can we turn a blind eye to
this?     For more information call 747-9651 or 
                   Peggy Land <peggyland@rogers.com>
