Joint Statement in Response To Foreign Interference Inquiry | Human Rights Coalition

February 24 2025 - The Alliance of Genocide Victim Communities, in collaboration with esteemed human rights organizations, has released a joint statement addressing the recent findings of the foreign interference inquiry. The joint statement emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive strategy to effectively address transnational repression and recognizes the diverse and profound impacts of foreign interference on Canadians from different cultural backgrounds. The statement underscores the imperative for Canada to provide crucial support and protection to victims of transnational repression, including those from the Uyghur, Tibetan, Hongkonger, Falun Gong, Tigrayan, Eritrean, Cuban, and Tamil communities.

We collectively call for proactive measures to safeguard the rights and well-being of those affected and to galvanize coordinated action in tackling transnational repression. The Alliance of Genocide Victim Communities and the collaborating human rights organizations are resolute in their commitment to championing justice, protection, and support for all individuals impacted by transnational repression. In a united voice, we call upon the Canadian government to prioritize and uphold these communities' rights and to take substantive steps towards addressing transnational repression and the challenges posed by foreign interference.
