Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish believes tales circulating a few vigil deliberate to honour the slain chief of Hamas are false and that no such occasion is deliberate.
Taking to social media tonight (Nov. 11), Parrish mentioned her personal investigation revealed the details about the vigil is unfaithful. As effectively, the Muslim Council of Peel says rumours of the vigil have been circulated to “sow division” in the neighborhood.
“Consulted a network of Muslim organizations, serious partners in many activities of our city – coaching sports, walkathons for Trillium Hospital and diabetes. I asked them to track down the anonymous notice for a vigil at City Hall. No organization exists. No vigil is planned,” Parrish commented on X (previously Twitter).
Information a few vigil started showing final week and was perpetuated by a digital flyer that marketed the occasion as deliberate for Nov. 26 at Celebration Sq. in entrance of Metropolis Corridor.
“Commemorating 40 days of Martydom of the leaders of Resistance fighting for Palestinian freedom.” the flyer reads displaying a photograph of slain chief of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar together with photographs of poppies.
Whereas the flyer couldn’t be linked to an originating supply, it was closely circulated by these condemning the occasion and who referred to as upon Parrish to stop it from occurring.
Though the vigil couldn’t be confirmed, a number of media shops picked up on the story.
In a launch, the Muslim Council of Peel (MCP), an umbrella group representing a number of companies, mentioned the flyer being circulated is supposed to trigger pressure in the neighborhood.
“The flyer is being circulated on social media by accounts attempting to sow division within our Mississauga and undermine Mayor Carolyn Parrish’s leadership,” states the MCP message. “MCP strongly condemns these divisive actions and confirms that the flyer will not be related to any reliable group in Mississauga.
Initially, Parrish mentioned the town was conscious of the vigil.
“Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, groups have the right of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly,” Parrish mentioned late final week. “The City will not interfere with a peaceful vigil, as long as all laws and City by-laws are adhered to.”
The MCP mentioned the misinformation unfold within the flyer distracts from the present humanitarian points in Gaza.
This was the flyer that was circulating on social media. The Mississauga mayor and an Islamic group say it’s pretend.
