Shock of a Lifetime

Letter to BCCLA

Until this very day, we witness arrogance of the RCMP and their efforts to manipulate and divert attention by investigating Robert’s life in Poland. In addition, we find it totally unacceptable that they focus their attention on those who oppose their actions and are involved in a struggle for a better Canada, namely protecting our country from police abuse and police state actions.

Therefore, we are committed to the following actions which we present to you in priority of events which have to take place

1. Provincial and/or Federal governments must cover all legal expenses for Zofia Cisowski in her battle with agencies involved in her son’s death and her pursuit of justice.

2. All four RCMP officers responsible for Robert’s death should be immediately removed from the force, investigated by an independently by a special prosecutor for possible criminal charges of criminal negligence causing death.

3. All RCMP leaders and spokespersons involved in cover-up and dissemination of misleading information should be suspended immediately.

4. RCMP should apologize to Zofia Cisowski for her son’s death and the Canadian public for their conduct.

5. YVR authorities, including Mr. Berg and his deputies, should be suspended immediately.

Media Advisory from Consul General of Poland in Vancouver

As a Foreign Consul I will not and can not comment on Canadian internal regulations. I am interested in them however as far as they concern the security and safety of Polish citizens, both residing in this country and coming to Canada. For obvious reason Poland want her citizens to feel save and secure, so I welcome any changes relating to any improvement in that field. Changes that will prevent senseless loss of Human life.

The recent tragic death of  Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver International Airport was a shock to all of us, not only Poles but Canadians as well. I would like to thank all individuals and organisations whose letters of support and sympathy I received and whose actions proved that there is a great concern for civil rights and liberties of common people. In particular I would like to give thanks to Canadian Civil Rights Movement for all the efforts taken together with British Columbia Civil Liberties Association.

CPC Chair Submits Interim Taser Report

“The most powerful asset in a police officer’s arsenal is public support. Anything that erodes that support reduces the ability of officers to successfully perform their duties on behalf of the public,” said Mr. Kennedy. “Because of this dynamic relationship, effective policing policies are critical to ensuring public confidence in the accountability of both individual members and the RCMP as a whole.”

Demanding to cover the legal costs

The Canadian Civil Rights Movement is demanding that both Provincial and Federal governments cover the legal costs and time for Walter Kosteckyj to act as Zofia Cisowski’s counsel starting immediately. Proper funding is essential for access to justice and obtaining the truth.

Canadian Civil Rights Movement

Moved and inspired by the tragic death of Robert we have decided to establish a Civil Rights Movement in Canada so that his martyr death is not in vain. Our primary goal is to bring immediate justice for all those responsible – RCMP officers and YVR authorities. It is also essential to review police practices as well as all government YVR agencies.
Our far-reaching objective is to reinforce, protect, and maintain civil and human rights in Canada.
Canadian Civil Rights Movement (CCRM) is non profit and apolitical organization open for all organizations and individuals who share our views. We want to act as an umbrella movement which will: focus on information flowing through the internet, initiate and organize the public’s reaction and response and address federal and provincial governments and elected officials with issues of our concern.

Founder of Canadian Civil Rights Movement
