Standing against a Repressive Regimen would make you a terrorist... by law.!!
Salvadorans were given no options, either they became part of a repressive government that was using death squads to keep people in line, or simply do nothing and continue being oppressed, or be part of a solution and look for better alternatives.... On this limited options, which alternative should someone pick...without losing the sensitivity for humanity? ... in El Salvador people were forced to make choices we, we were born with those limited choices.... The social movement made a moral decision then... that moral decision back then was to give our political support to the force that represented the better option for Salvadorans... that force was FMLN...
SECUO, a Student Union at the University of El Salvador along with many other students organizations, and workers organizations and peasants organizations such as ANDES 21, UNTS, FENASTRAS, COMADRES, AGEUS etc.... were among those organizations which were affiliated with the force that was pushing for changes in El Salvador.
The allegations on the admissibility proceedings are clear, the Canadian Government alleges that FMLN is an organization that fits the definition of Terrorism as contained in Section 83.01 of the Criminal Code therefore any organization such as SECUO, ANDES, UNTS, FENASTRAS, that had some members with links to the FMLN are inadmissible into Canada. With these allegations the Canadian government is saying that any supporter of FMLN is inadmissible into Canada....
Every country has the right to defend their people against terrorism and that gives the Canadian law a moral standard, standard which is lost when the law is used for other purpose other than the one intended for ... in this case to combat terrorist, and is aggravated when is applied against individuals or institutions that cannot be characterized as terrorist.
During the admissibility proceedings CBSA or the minister representative gave no arguments strong enough to change a moral decision that was taken more than 20 years ago... rather their arguments strengthens that moral decision... El Salvador cannot get back to the same status that was before the peace Agreements were signed in 1992... It has taken the society long time to make those changes, and the allegations that the Canadian government has been using against FMLN, at this point becomes a step back to the consolidation of the peace in El Salvador...
If the allegations presented during this case are true, that means that millions of Salvadorans who are members or supporters of FMLN are inadmissible into Canada... when even Nelson Mandela who was a member of the ANC could then be found inadmissible under the same grounds...
The Figueroa Family can then be taking as a sample of the wrong application of a law... the rules have changed since September 11th events, many members of FMLN were welcomed as refugees then applying the law as it is interpreted the Canadian government should then follow the principles that have been established and start a process that would leave out of Canada any member of FMLN, including their diplomatic representation and thousands of Salvadorans that by the Canadian law are members of a terrorist organization....
Salvadorans struggled long enough for the changes they have achieved during all these years, El Salvador is a sovereign country, their people have decided, by that decision the have given a veredict on FMLN, and no other country has the right to overturn that decision... which is clear, Salvadorans don't consider never have considered FMLN as a Terrorist organization...
Help us protect the rights of Canadian Children, and the rights of a community!!
On January 16th no matter where you are in Canada, El Salvador or any part in the world, wear a white garment and light a candle in support of the Salvadorans that are at risk of being deported from Canada!
Injustice somewhere is a threat to justice everywhere...!
