ABOUT US

The Presumption of Innocence Project (PIP) is a broad-based coalition that supports and defends civil liberties, the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. We came together in response to the treatment of 18 Muslim men who were arrested in Toronto in June 2006 for alleged terror-related activity.

We support their right to be tried fairly by the courts, and not by the press or by public opinion. We support their right to be presumed innocent, and not to be treated as already convicted.

We include labour, student, faith, community and social justice organizations and activists.
