STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY OF MOHAMMAD ABU MARZOUK
January 31st, 2023
(Mississauga, ON) “On July 15, 2018 we saw the darkest side of humanity, one that we would not wish upon anyone. That evening, we were doing an ordinary thing like any other Canadian family, enjoying a beautiful summer evening at our local community centre with our friends, when Mohammad was viciously attacked. Today’s verdict offers some closure as we await sentencing. But we know we have a much longer road to recovery, for Mohammad, for our family, and collectively as Canadians. Islamophobia poses a dangerous threat in Canada and we must all do more to fight it.”
