An Open Letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: Re: Cancelling of flights from Saudi Arabia to Canada Canada had called for the immediate release of civil-rights activists in Saudi Arabia and signaled concern over a new crackdown on dissidents by Riyadh. The expulsion of the Canadian ambassador and freezing of all new trade and investment with Canada has resulted in Saudi Arabia to suspend its all flights to and from Toronto starting August 13th, amid intensifying diplomatic row between the two countries following Canada's refusal to back down from comments in defense of human rights inside the Kingdom. Mr. Trudeau, please do not cancel flights from Canada to Saudi Arabia as the Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj will be will be from August 19th to August 24th. Many Muslim Canadians will be travelling to perform the Hajj during this time. Many Muslim Canadians will be adversely affected if Saudi Airlines flights from Canada are cancelled.

Sincerely,
Mahmood Awan
