British MP George Galloway starts libel suit against Jason Kenney
by Colin Perkel https://www.legal-project.org/322/british-mp-george-galloway-starts-libel-suit Excerpt: British antiwar MP George Galloway, who was denied entry into Canada in March, announced Friday he plans to sue Immigration Minister Jason Kenney over suggestions he supports terrorism. The defamation notice, the first step in commencing a defamation action, was also served on senior members of two Jewish organizations as well as a top Kenney aide. Galloway alleges the respondents made more than a dozen statements that were widely published in Canada and abroad but were false and damaged his reputation. "I welcome robust criticism, but the comments made about me crossed the line," Galloway said in a statement. "They are not only untrue, they are outrageous. As an elected member of the British Parliament, I am compelled to exercise my legal right to clear my name." In March, Kenney refused to intervene in a decision by the Canada Border Services Agency to ban the 54-year-old Scottish MP on national security grounds from entering Canada for a series of speaking engagements.
