At the sentencing hearing, 13 Community Impact Statements were filed, including one by CAEF, as well as a Victim Impact Statement filed by the victim of this assault. There were so many Community Impact Statements filed that the conclusion of the sentencing hearing was postponed to July 24, 2025.

The Canadian government is funding the North American Refugee Conference (NARHC) in September that will feature Albanese. It is time to raise an alarm and demand that she not be granted entry to Canada and not be presenting her biased anti-Israel agenda. The conference is platforming this international Hamas apologist.

Cancel Appointment of Francesca Albanese
The UN Human Rights Council extended the appointment of the notoriously antisemitic Francesca Albanese as UN Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories, and immediately thereafter, UN Watch launched a campaign to ban her from entering the United States, and demanding the UN remove her. UN Watch has documented the illegal re-appointment and urged governments to support its campaign. She has already been condemned by the US, France, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands for supporting designated terrorist organizations.
Sign the letter asking that the US Secretary of State sanction Francesca Albanese, deny her entry to the US, and affirm that she no longer benefits from any form of diplomatic immunity.
Once the Canadian government appoints a Minister of Foreign Affairs, CAEF and others will extend the same demands to the Canadian government.
