加拿大史维会的“慰安妇见证”系列活动

最近几次纪念“南京大屠杀”70周年的活动得到很多朋友的支持和帮助，不管是去慈善宴会义务帮忙，还是慷慨解囊，或大力宣传“张纯如-南京大屠杀”电影，都对还原历史真相，呼唤公正，警示世人起很大的推动作用。

接下来的周日和周一，加拿大史维会还组织了一个“慰安妇见证”的活动。从中国、韩国等亚洲国家邀请几位尚在人世的慰安妇，到多伦多亲口讲述历史，发起倡议，目的是呈现历史真相，敦促加拿大国会通过支持动议，促使日本政府正式向“慰安妇”做出道歉及赔偿。

有时间的朋友，请前往支持！您的参与将推动历史的前进！

附上王裕佳医生关于近期活动安排的邮件的部分内容：

2. The Motion to support 'Comfort Women' victims in our Parliament: A press conference will be organized at the Korean Cultural Centre on Nov. 22 to announce to ALL media about the visit of these survivors to Canada. The key event will be on Nov. 25---The Witnessing Forum---at the University of Toronto's Convocation Hall downtown. This is very important and it is a message to our MPs---if the turn-out is good, it serves as a strong voice to let our representatives in Ottawa know how important this issue is to our communities, and the chance of passage of the Motion will be substantial. We need everyone to try to drum up support for this forum. Morally we owe it to the victim survivors our strong support for them as they courageously confront the world with their horrendous past, and come tens of thousands of miles to a strange country to fight for justice and recognition. The time for the event is 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 25. Email to all your contacts and ask them to email to their contacts and so on. We need to pack the Hall. This is a golden opportunity to pass the motion in the House. We might forever lose it if we don't get it this time. given the fact that the Japanese Embassy in Ottawa is lobbying hard against the motion. We cannot afford high-priced lobbiests. What we have is the united determination of the communities to bring long-overdued justice to the women victims.

3. An education forum is organized on Nov. 26 at the Medical Sciences Centre of the U. of T. We are expecting full capacity of about 200 educators, teachers and students to join us. Starting time is 2:00 p.m.

4. We are going to Ottawa in the evening of Nov. 26. It is likely that there will be a formal House committee hearing on Nov. 27, with the victim witnesses, and with other MPs and Senators joining the meeting.

5. We hope to have the motion move to the floor of the House on Nov. 28 at which time, if all parties agree, the motion will be voted on and the chance of passing will be good---This will happen only if the Nov.25 Witnessing Forum is a resounding success.

6. Early December will be a busy time for press conferences: one is to announce our Dec. 13 Concert to Commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Nanking Massacre at the North York Arts Performing Centre. The other press conference will announce the History Channel's broad-cast of our film on Dec. 13 at prime time---8:00 p.m. all 105 minutes without interruption ( no advertisements ) followed by a panel discussion with Lloyd Robertson as host.
