Also participating in the event are Tim McSorley (national coordinator of the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group), Monia Mazigh (author and activist), Alex Neve (academic), Matthew Behrens (co-ordinator of Stop Canadian Involvement in Torture), and Sally Lane (author and the mother of Jack Letts, a Canadian citizen who is detained in Syria).
