About this listen

 In December 2016, Soleiman “Soli” Faqiri, a young man with schizoaffective disorder, was killed by jail guards in an Ontario correctional facility, despite a judge’s order for his transfer to a proper hospital. Bound, restrained with a spit hood, and suffering over 50 injuries, Soli’s death was ruled a homicide. A government inquiry later revealed serious procedural violations and issued recommendations to protect mentally ill prisoners—but two years later, none have been implemented, and no guards have been held accountable. In this episode, Soli’s brother Yusef Faqiri joins Liana to share their family’s fight for justice and systemic change. They discuss ongoing advocacy, the impact on the Faqiri family, and how Canadians can support efforts to reform the corrections system in Soli’s memory through Justice for Soli.
