Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights
Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) is a non-profit, student-based organization that advocates on a strong social justice platform to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people. The group is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and gained a wide profile after instigating a protest in Concordia University, that forced the Israeli ex-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel a speech that was to take place on 9 September 2002. In 2009, the organization (publicly threatened ) civil disobedience and unrest in response to the Canada Border Services agency barring British MP George Galloway from entry into Canada.
==Brief history==
SPHR was established in 1999 as a result of a merger between two student organizations based at Concordia University and McGill University in Montreal; the Concordia Centre for Palestinian Human Rights (CCPHR) and the McGill Palestinian Solidarity Committee (PSC). It was seen by many that the Oslo Agreement did not stop the threats to the Palestinian people as settlements continued unabated and many sought to highlight the plight of the Palestinian people for the Canadian people. Having noticed a certain vacuum in the Canadian solidarity movement, the members wanted to create a unique and independent organization which would be able to promote the Palestinian struggle in all of its aspects. It was after a three-month-long discussion that the two boards decided to merge and to consolidate their resources to the furthering of the Palestinian struggle for human rights. The two groups worked on major projects together and consulted each other. An effort was made to be open and consultative. Their logic was that they wanted to create an organization which would have enough credibility to be able to appeal to the general public without compromising basic human right principles and facts surrounding the Palestinian plight. The organization invited prominent speakers such as Norman Finkelstein before he became extremely well-known to those concerned with Palestinian human rights. The university administrations sought to block SPHR
in many cases and make it difficult for the members to exercise their freedom of speech.
