    The Murder of Soleiman Faqiri: When The System Goes Horribly Wrong

    Soleiman Faqiri was murdered by jail guards in an Ontario jail in December of 2016 after an altercation with a neighbour. Soli, as his family called him, had schizoaffective disorder, and a judge had ordered him to be transferred from jail to an appropriate hospital. Before that could happen, Soli had his hands and feet bound, his face covered by a spit hood, and endured over 50 bruises and other injuries from jail guards, causing his death - which was ruled a homicide. A government inquiry found numerous violations of procedure in Soli's treatment and issued a report with recommendations for the better treatment of mentally-ill prisoners. 2 years later, none of the recommendations have been followed and none of the guards who beat Soli to death have been charged in his murder. Soli's brother Yusef speaks to Liana about the efforts of him, his family, and advocates across the country to effect positive change in the corrections system in memory of Soli through https://justiceforsoli.com/
