Calgary, 2024-05-10 The Muslim Council of Calgary stands united in condemning the recent actions of the Calgary Police Service, which employed excessive force against peaceful protesters advocating for an end to Israel’s aggression in Palestine. As advocates for justice and human rights, we express our deep concern over this violation of fundamental rights.
