Legal community calls out the backlash against TMU law students behind pro-Palestinian letter
Members of the Canadian legal community are, in an open letter, calling reports of retaliation against lawyers and law students who have expressed support for Palestinian liberation a “new McCarthyism” that will have a “chilling effect on freedom of speech.”
The letter, published online Monday, says lawyers and law students, including those from Toronto Metropolitan University who last month issued a letter of solidarity with Palestinians, are being targeted for their views.
