💔 The tragic loss of Omar Mohammed, a Black man shot by the RNC on June 12, 2023, is a haunting reminder of pretrial detention's consequences. Over 18 months at HMP took a heavy toll on his well-being and life. His story urges swift change. #OmarMohammed #JusticeForAll

🤝 With a commitment to anti-racist transformative justice, ARCNL recognizes the bill's disproportionate impact on Indigenous, Black, and racialized individuals, those dealing with mental health issues, substance use, and poverty. Justice must be inclusive. #TransformativeJustice

📜 Upholding Section 11 (e) of the Canadian Charter is paramount. Denying reasonable bail without cause is an injustice that reverberates beyond the individual, impacting our whole community. Pre-trial detention highlights a crisis in justice accessibility. #AccessToJustice

📢 On #PrisonersJusticeDay , ARC-NL stands in solidarity with @BlackLegalAction, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, @CAEFS, and @JohnHoward_CDA against Bill C-48. These reverse onus measures threaten unjust pretrial detentions, disproportionately affecting individuals on this land.
