Hundreds of people took to Toronto streets yesterday (November 6, 2010) to draw attention to the killings of Christians in Iraq, according to the Assyrian International News Agency website.
Fadi Naami, 28, a youth leader with St. Joseph Syriac Catholic Church in Mississauga (Canada), said the demonstration was intended to commemorate the deaths of 58 hostages after militants seized a Baghdad church on October 31.
The attack -- claimed by an Al Qaeda-linked organization -- was the deadliest ever recorded against Iraq's Christians.
Similar demonstrations are planned in cities across the United States and Europe for tomorrow, November 8.
