Statement on the University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre 

The recent improper and unauthorized use of the name of the University of Alberta’s Sexual Assault Centre in endorsing an open letter has raised understandable concerns from members of our community and the public. Effective immediately, the director of the centre is no longer employed by the university. The university has appointed a new interim director of the Sexual Assault Centre.

 

The open letter:

The director of a sexual assault center at a Canadian university is coming under criticism for signing an open letter denying women were raped during Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel.

Samantha Pearson, director of the University of Alberta's Sexual Assault Center, was among those to sign in support of the letter written by two local politicians.

Sarah Jama, a member of Ontario's provincial parliament, and Susan Kim, a city councillor in Victoria, British Columbia, authored the letter to all members of Canada's parliament.

We, the undersigned, residing in so-called Canada, urge Canadian political leaders to end their complicity in the ongoing massacres and genocide in Gaza, Occupied Palestine,' they wrote.

The letter - entitled 'Stand with Palestine: Call on Political Leaders to End Their Complicity in Genocide!' - called on the MPs to resign after the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, refused to demand a ceasefire.

And the signatories criticized opposition leader Jagmeet Singh for having 'repeated the unverified accusation that Palestinians were guilty of sexual violence.' 


You do not despise the media enough.

Media coverage of Israel continues.


You see them do it, and you can't believe they'd really say that, but there it is.
