Ep 20: In solidarity & loving memory of Soleiman Faqiri, on the 5th year of his death
On December 15th 2016, Soleiman Faqiri died at the hands of correctional officers while temporarily housed at a Lindsay, ON correctional facility.
In this episode of the Majlis, Host Adnan Husain interviews Yusuf Faqiri, Soleiman Faqiri's eldest brother and founder of the movement 'Justice for Soli'. Throughout their open and candid conversation, Yusuf and Dr. Husain commemorate Soli as a brother, a son, a person with a story to tell while also demanding answers and holding the system accountable.
Justice for Soli Calls for:
ACCOUNTABILITY: Criminal Charges must be laid against the guards who are responsible for Soleiman’s death.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: The Ontario Premier must make an official apology to the Faqiri Family for the death of Soleiman.
REFORM: Institutional Changes must be made to mental health training in the prison system.
