Palestinian protesters ask for asylum in Canada
Hundreds of Palestinian refugees protested outside the Canadian Embassy Thursday morning, asking to be granted asylum. The demonstration in front of the embassy in Jal al-Dib was organized by the Palestinian Youth Organization for Humanitarian Relief in Lebanon and the Youth Movement for Palestinians in Syria. A similar protest was held in August when the organizations submitted lists of names of Palestinians residing in Lebanon who were requesting asylum in Canada.
