Former human rights commissioner launching lawsuits against Melissa Lantsman, CIJA

February 6, 2025 at 8:01 am  Federal, Politics, Video



Birju Dattani holds a news conference in Ottawa to discuss defamation lawsuits he has launched against Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman, media personality Ezra Levant, and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) for what he alleges were defamatory statements made about him on social media. He is joined by his lawyer Alexi Wood and Independent Jewish Voices’ Sam Hersh.

Last year, Dattani resigned as chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission shortly after his appointment following complaints about past comments and actions of his that were called antisemitic by CIJA and others. (February 6, 2025)
