Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.
A coalition of 12 human rights organizations have appealed in a letter to the UN under Secretary General Jean-Pierre Lacroix about the United Nations Department of Peace Operations should ban Bangladesh’s paramilitary Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) from its deployment, made public on January 20 through the Human Rights Watch (HRW) website.
