PUBLIC CONFERENCE

«The erosion of civil liberties in Canada and in the United States since September 11, 2001»

«09-11 marked a definite turning point with respect to human rights. In the name of the «just war» against terrorism, many infringements were suddenly possible. (.) Human rights advocates have reason to be concerned, the general trend of our societies towards the ever greater respect of the individual and human liberties, has been stopped. And everything indicates that we are henceforth drifting towards an increasingly paranoid and police State.»
-Ignacio Ramonet
