Webinars

Justice for Soli has joined hands with different organizations, such as Naseeha Mental Health and the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies (CAEFS), to host online webinars that create a space for constructive discourse on the topics of mental health and prison reform. Through these webinars, the movement has created a platform for education and awareness on social issues, with a nexus in Soli’s death.

In spring 2020, Justice for Soli launched a weekly webinar series in association with Emilie Coyle, the Executive Director of the CAEFS. The series, hosted on Facebook Live, discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on prisoners and individuals suffering from mental illness. Guests have included Senator Kim Pate; former Canadian Supreme Court justice and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Madam Justice Louise Arbour; Mi’kmaw lawyer and social justice activist, Dr. Pamela Palmater; and human rights lawyer, Paul Champ.

About the Movement

Justice for Soli was founded by Soleiman’s eldest brother, Yusuf Faqiri, only one or two days after his brother’s murder in December 2016. In early 2017, the McMaster Muslims for Peace and Justice became the first organization to completely throw its support behind Justice for Soli, transforming what was once a small group of friends and family into a larger social justice movement with hundreds of supporters. Today, over 100 organizations are affiliated with Justice for Soli, supporting the movement in its fight for justice, transparency and accountability.
