TORONTO, March 9, 2010 – B’nai Brith Canada has called on Ontario Attorney-General Chris Bentley to move without delay to lay hate crime charges against Salman Hossain, a Bangladeshi-Canadian York University student who has allegedly called for a “genocide [to] be perpetrated against the Jewish populations of North America and Europe” on a website apparently owned by him. Yesterday, York University suspended Hossain pending his appearance at a disciplinary panel. Three years ago, Hossain made news for posting messages supporting terrorist attacks in Canada. At that time, the OPP investigated the matter but the Attorney-General decided against pressing charges.
