Brandon Marchant threw a towel at correctional officers because he was frustrated that didn't let him shower. They beat him to death over a TOWEL. When is the Ontario and Canadian government going to hold them accountable? We demand justice! #nomoredeathsincustody
Time is running out for the government to do whatโs right: provide answers to the Soleiman Faqiri family and hold those responsible for his death accountable.
We need answers on the crisis in Ontarioโs jails.

PSA to all Canadians: basic human rights are being denied to those who are incarcerated in many Canadian prisons. Case in point: 90 out of 109 prisoners in this Brampton jail contracted COVID-19; masks and gloves weren't even given to these individuals. https://t.co/5P6CGs138L
Since 2009, 19 individuals who were being held in custody at London's Eglin-Middlesex Detention Centre have died at the hands of correctional officers. This month, another incarcerated individual named Brandon Marchant was beaten to death. We need hold the government accountable!
The UNโs decision to investigate systemic racism within policing is HUGE. Justice and equity can never occur in our society until the racist underpinnings of the system are analyzed and fixed.
This is such a pertinent issue that needs to be addressed within society. In Canada alone, officers use racial slurs towards BIPOC and have harmful biases to treat them negatively. Correctional officers within jails should also be investigated. https://t.co/HHLCMt49Yc

Watch our interview with a former correctional officer from Ontario here. He breaks down the discrimination directed towards Black inmates by Correctional Officers in a Windsor prison: https://t.co/96iatWJ6Qw
Now that weโre talking about police brutality, letโs not forget that racism is also embedded within the police force in Canada. There is an EXTREME lack of racial sensitivity by correctional officers towards BIPOC within prisons, and racism is the norm within these institutions.
#BREAKING: Dozens of police, security, drones & helicopters have surrounded people living in encampments at Trinity Bellwoods Park to evict them.
Imagine if the resources spent on evictions were instead spent on housing.
Shame on the City of Toronto!
The societal, psychological and economic underpinnings which disproportionately affects so many BIPOC in vulnerable communities within the country desperately needs to be addressed! Why isnโt the government uplifting these communities and investing in them?
This young man called the Police himself for help, and ended up getting KILLED. When are we going to start talking about the racism that clearly exists within the Canadian justice system?
A statement from Ontario's Special Investigations Unit says the officer who fatally shot a young Black man with schizophrenia at his Brampton home has not agreed to an interview or turned over his notes. The SIU cannot legally compel the officer to do so. https://t.co/QOZGuhak6u
Funny. He kills 4 people but the photo the news & media share is one of him running something that deems him to be harmless but in fact these people are thugs cluts & dangerous god forbid if it was a black man we know how the story will go
CTV News has obtained a photo showing the suspect in Sunday's hate-motivated attack on a Muslim family in London. The suspect is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. https://t.co/xi9yu2Yw94
Absolutely unbelievable to see that our black men are being lied on just so someone else can get their way thank you to the officer for handling it correctly and yelling at the man for lying on a serious situation
@blackmedusamoon this is most of the video stitched together i think, it was recorded in 3 parts and posted by their sister @/houseoflondoninc on IG

Is it really an error or is there a different plan with these vaccine, itโs absurd that the areas that need it the most black people are always getting the shitty end of the stick whenever it comes to our health the government knew what they were doing
This is just sad and clearly speaks a lot about the justice system clearly SIU is involved in covering up this officers tracks he should be charged like he would of been if this young man was a white male instead of a black male
BREAKING: The SIU has ruled there will be no criminal charges against officers involved in the 2019 death of a young Black man with mental illness who obeyed a police command to get on the ground before he was Tasered and pepper-sprayed in his backyard. https://t.co/5fVKciVeoi
Why is that whenever someone tries to speak about the problems that are happening within these correlations institution these big corporate owners try to hush them .. I wonder why
Disgusts me that regina correctional Center remand has a mouse problem to the point that inmate canteen needs to be put in rubbermaid containers. How is this healthy and why is nothing done.
