Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights and Tadamon! bring you a panel on the colonial roots of administrative detention in Canada and Israel.
Administrative detention is a practice with colonial roots, where we find the similarity between the two colonial entities that are Israel and Canada. In both Israel and Canada, the manner in which bodies are policed leads to practices of detention, mass incarceration, systemic racism, apartheid, and genocide of indigenous peoples and marginalized populations. It is therefore a question of noting the similarities between these two colonial entities, following an anti-abolitionist, anti-colonialist, anti-racist, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist approach.
