On Monday, April 26, the Federal Court of Canada will hear arguments by lawyers representing British MP George Galloway and the organizers of his 2009 speaking tour who are challenging Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney's decision to ban Galloway from Canada. Galloway's legal team will be joined by lawyers representing the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) which has been granted leave to intervene in the case.

In Toronto, please join us before the hearing begins for a rally to defend free speech, and to let George Galloway speak in Canada. After the rally, please attend the hearing, and help us fill the court room with supporters.
