For Immediate release | Thursday April 23, 1998
Friends of the Lubicon news conference : 1:30 pm Friday
(TORONTO) On April 14, Justice James MacPherson released an Ontario Court
decision declaring the boycott of Daishowa products not only legal but "a
model of how such activities should be conducted in a democratic society."
But, in the interests of allowing Daishowa time to consider making a
commitment not to cut or to buy wood cut on Lubicon territory until a land
rights settlement is reached - thus ending the boycott - Friends of the
Lubicon promised Daishowa a ten day moratorium before it would resume its
boycott. FOL told Daishowa that any new boycott would be "bigger than
before and will extend across several jurisdictions."
The ten-day moratorium ends April 24th. In the interim period, Friends of
the Lubicon has been talking with Daishowa.
Friends of the Lubicon will announce the next step of Lubicon supporters -
including supporters in US, Europe, Japan, Manitoba, and Quebec - publicly
at a news conference at 1:30 pm Friday April 24 in the media gallery at
the Queen's Park Legislature in Toronto.
