May's Woman of the Month

Malalai Joya is an Afghan woman of supreme courage and dedication to her country. As an elected representative to the Afghan Parliament she has continually spoken her mind about many of the other members of parliament who are warloards and druglords using their positions of power for their own advancement and to drive the Afghan women back into the life they had under the Taliban. The Afghan parliament on Monday voted for her removal. This attempt to stifle free speech and silence this brave woman should not be allowed. Canada, if it is really in Afghanistan to improve the life of the Afghan people should demand Malalai Joya be reinstated as a condition of support for the government." I whisper.
