In light of the shocking allegations of police abuse against Indigenous women in Val d'Or, Quebec we're issuing a special Women's Rights edition of Human Rights News. Thank you for being a strong voice for women's human rights in Canada and around the world.
Allegations by Indigenous women from Val d’Or, Quebec that officers from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) have committed serious crimes against them, including physical and sexual assault, have once again focused attention on the issue of violence against Indigenous women in Canada.
Amnesty International is calling for a truly independent investigation into these cases and all other cases of abuse by SQ officers.
