BC's appeal court has confirmed: Canada's solitary confinement laws were unconstitutional. Ottawa passed a new law regulating prisons Friday but civil liberty organizations say there are issues with that law too. @bccla says they are watching feds' next steps. @starvancouver pic.twitter.com/iCnbHtJ4Po

We strongly oppose this proposal because of its threat to freedom of expression.
