The major concern of a civil liberties association is to ensure that rights and freedoms advocacy continues to be valued, honoured and integrated into the judicial system. The day when 20 international leaders meet in Toronto but no one is there to express their enthusiasm, support or disagreement, out of fear of being arrest or mistreated, we will have lost democracy. It is important to acknowledge that the right and freedom to demonstrate peacefully is an integral part of the exercise of a vibrant political culture.
