SAAD GAYA, one of the Toronto 10 (formerly known as Toronto 18) has his hearing on Tuesday April 22nd. He is going up for bail. Although public opinion is theoretically not supposed to affect the judge's decision, in reality it does. Having people present at the court shows the judge that Canadians are watching and care about the case. Come and support the Toronto 10 at Saad's bail hearing on Tuesday April 22nd. Transportation from downtown and Mississauga is available.
Details are below:

The Presumption of Innocence Project (PIP) is a broad-based coalition that supports and defends civil liberties, the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. We came together in response to the treatment of 18 Muslim men and boys who were arrested in Toronto in June 2006 for alleged terror-related activity.
We support their right to be tried fairly by the courts, and not by the press or by public opinion. We support their right to be presumed innocent, and not to be treated as already convicted.
We include labour, student, faith, community and social justice organizations and activists.
