Boycotting some Jean Coutu's in Ville St Laurent!

Dear Mr. Jean Coutu,

Ms Nelly Kanou is the Syrian Honorary Consul General in Montreal and is the owner of the following Jean Coutu pharmacies in Montreal:


Nelly et Tania Kanou pharmaciennes,237 boul De La Cote-vertu, Saint-Laurent QC, 514-331-2134


Nelly et Tania Kanou pharmaciennes, 740 boul de la Côte-Vertu, St-Laurent, QC,
514-744-2555


Pharmacie Jean Coutu - Nelly & Tania Kanou, 475, boulevard de la Côte-Vertu, St-Laurent QC, 514-744-0203


Pharmacie Jean Coutu - N.T. Kanou & S. Marachian, 5855, boulevard Gouin O, Montréal QC, 514-334-8641


Ms Nelly Kanou is the representative of the Syrian government in Montreal and has been a vocal supporter of the president of Syria, Bashar Alassad, accused of crimes against humanity. According to Human Rights Watch, the UN General Human Rights Commission and Amnesty International, torture, rape and execution of men, women and children are systematically used by the Syrian regime. Since the 15th of March 2011, Syria has witnessed a nation wide uprising demanding freedom, dignity and democratic institutions. 

The latest statistics have documented 5300 deaths, 351 children killed, 235 females killed, more then 25000 injured, more then 5000 missing, 191 protesters killed under torture, more then 59000 protesters incarcerated, more then 17000 refugees since the 15th of March 2011. In addition, testimonies from Syria and Amnesty international have reported that hospital workers suspected of treating protesters and others injured in the unrest have been faced with arrest and torture.

It is disgraceful that a Canadian healthcare provider has decided to support and align itself with a criminal and fascist regime. We the Syrian Canadian Council, the Collective for Syria in Montreal, and 99% Quebec call on Jean Coutu Group Inc to disassociate itself from Ms Nelly Kanou, representative of a criminal dictatorial regime. We further call on consumers to boycott the Jean Coutu pharmacies that are owned by Ms Nelly Kanou.


Sincerely,


Syrian Canadian Council
