A post shared by Daizy Gedeon (@daizygedeon)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Canadian lawmaker in the province of Ontario was banned yesterday from the legislative assembly for wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional symbol of solidarity with Palestine among activists.<\/p>\n

Sarah Jama, a member of the provincial parliament (MPP), was told to leave the chamber by Speaker of the House, Ted Arnott.<\/p>\n

She refused to go and was sanctioned by Arnott, who runs the legislature. He banned the white-and-black scarf a week ago because, in his view, it made an \u201covert\u201d political statement. Many have since opposed his stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of being named, the member (Jama), for the remainder of the day, is ineligible to vote on matters before the assembly, attend and participate in any committee proceedings, use the media studio and table notices of motion, written questions and petitions,\u201d Arnott said.<\/p>\n

Jama stayed for the proceedings and Arnott was asked why he allowed her to remain.<\/p>\n

He replied that the only way to remove Jama was by physical force, and \u201cI wasn\u2019t prepared to do that,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

This is undemocratic and unjust intimidation! The keffiyeh has become the universal symbol of resistance against oppression, apartheid, persecution, aggression, extremism. It is a symbol of unity not division. A symbol of hope!<\/p>\n
