Lucia Vega Jimenez kills herself under the detention of the CBSA
On December 20th 2013, Lucia Vega Jimenez killed herself under the detention of the Canadian Border Services Agency in Vancouver BC.
Her death, which was kept a secret for over a month, has sparked many questions and political action in the migrant justice community. No One Is Illegal put together a petition with over 7,000 signatures demanding an independent civilian investigation in to Lucia's death and the end of racist and anti-migrant policies from the Canadian Government.
Sula Greene spoke to Karla Lottini and Shireen Soofi from No One Is Illegal about their demands and the circumstances surrounding Lucia's death.
This segment was aired on Off the Hour, the community-news programming of CKUT 90.3 FM.
