Protest against Beijing 2022 Olympic Shame Ceremony

  • International Support for Uyghurs Montreal, QC, Canada (map)

Despite the cold weather, more than 100 people participated in a protest march against Beijing’s

attempt to sportswash genocide and crimes against humanity. We marched from the Canadian Olympic

Committee building at 500 Rene Levesque Ouest to the Chinese Consulate in Montreal.

As we walked up Rene Levesque Ouest, multiple cars honked to show their support in standing up

against the corrupt regime in Beijing. The Government of China is guilty of Genocide, systematic forced

sterilization, separation of children from their families, torture, organ harvesting, and the list goes on…

Despite the crimes against humanity, Beijing goes on without a care because companies prioritize profits

and look away to deny the brutal reality of life for millions of Uyghurs, Tibetans, citizens of Hong Kong,

Inner Mongolians, and people of faith in China.

In front of the Chinese Consulate, we heard speeches from members of the coalition of activist

organizations who came together to organize this protest:

Action Free Hong Kong Montreal

Student for Free Tibet McGill

Regroupement pour la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RRSE)

NO CI Quebec

We also heard from volunteers, community members, and participants who wanted to share their voice

of support.

How can you act?

1. Boycott Made in China, put the pressure on companies to prove they are not using forced labor

2. Call your MP to urge the Canadian government to protect Uyghur refugees by providing

expedited safe passage to Canada

3. Write to your MP to demand that Canada apply Magnitsky sanctions against key Beijing regime

officials who are directly responsible for planning and implementing Genocide policies

If you’re not sure how you can contact your MP, contact us and we will help you.

Don’t forget to share this post!
