I, Ashu M. G. Solo, filed the following:

1. Civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Mayor's Office) and Councillor Randy Donauer for prayer recitations at government organized events

2. Code of Conduct complaint against Mayor Don Atchison for potential online campaign advertising violations

3. Civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Saskatoon Transit Services) for promoting holidays from only one religion on city buses

4. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Executive Committee) for retaliating against me by not reappointing me to the Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee and not appointing me to another civic committee or board

5. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (City Solicitor’s Office) for retaliating against me by trying to deprive me of my right to directly communicate with members of City Council and by telling employees of other City of Saskatoon departments to not talk to me

6. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Office) and City of Saskatoon (Living in Harmony Ad Hoc Subcommittee of Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee) for retaliating against me by not considering my submissions to the Living in Harmony Contest

This site contains my media releases, some case documents, emails to City Council, etc.

I don't waste my time arguing with opponents.

The backlash makes me much more determined to fight against bigotry and shows the need for these civil rights cases, so I'll be filing more civil rights cases. You ain't seen nothing yet.

MEDIA ADVISORY: Canadian Civil Liberties Association Calls for End to Prayer Recitations at Saskatoon Government Events in Letter to Mayor Atchison


MEDIA ADVISORY:  Canadian Civil Liberties Association Calls for End to Prayer Recitations at Saskatoon Government Events in Letter to Mayor Atchison

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN--(June 6, 2012) - Ashu M. G. Solo filed a complaint against Mayor Don Atchison, Councillor Randy Donauer and the City of Saskatoon with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission on May 1, 2012 after Atchison called up Donauer to try to lead a diverse audience in a Christian prayer at a Volunteer Appreciation Banquet organized by the Mayor's Office.

Now the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) has sent a letter to Atchison.  The letter by Sheetal Rawal of CCLA says it was inappropriate to have a prayer recitation at the municipal event and calls for an end to prayer recitations at municipal events.  Rawal wrote, “The state should have no role in imposing, endorsing or promoting a particular religion over others, nor should it pressure or coerce an individual into a religious practice.”  See http://tinyurl.com/d7z4mug for the full letter by Rawal.

“Let people pray to their own versions of the divine or go ahead and dine,” Solo said.
