MONTREAL—Some 100 people marched here December 11 to support the fight by Abousfian Abdelrazik (above, holding microphone) to be removed from the UN Security Council’s list of entities and individuals with alleged associations with al-Qaeda or the Taliban. Adopted by the Security Council in 1999, resolution 1267 calls on states to impose a travel ban and freeze assets of those on the list. Protesters demanded that the Canadian government lift its sanctions against Abdelrazik and withdraw from the 1267 regime. In 2009 Abdelrazik succeeded in winning his fight to return to Canada from his native Sudan after gaining widespread support across the country.
