OTTAWA— A group of Canadian human rights lawyers and Palestinian Canadians who have lost family and friends in Gaza plans to sue Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly to block exports of military goods and technology to Israel, arguing the Trudeau government is in breach of Canada’s domestic and international legal obligations.
The lawsuit is to be filed Tuesday in the Federal Court of Canada by Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights (CLIHR), joined by a Palestinian non-governmental organization called the Al-Haq-Law in the Service of Man, and a number of Palestinians living in Canada, including one who is seeking asylum status here.
