UPDATES: Murder trial for Syrian refugee accused of murdering 13 year old B.C. girl
Ibrahim Ali had been in Canada for around three months before he is alleged to have killed the teenager.

Following a series of delays, the trial of a Syrian refugee accused of murdering a Burnaby, B.C. teenager is set to reconvene.
Ibrahim Ali is faced with a first-degree murder charge in the death of the 13-year-old girl who cannot be named due to a publication ban. He had been in Canada for roughly three months the alleged killing.
Rebel News previously reported on the case in 2018. Drea Humphrey is live tweeting today's hearing as it happens.

17. PS. This just occurred to me, all though it is not surprising.

When the court had a unanticipated break earlier not a single one of the many legacy media reporters in attendance ventured 2 doors down like I did to see what the “Sue Bonnie Henry” case was up to.
16.Not surprised!

Court is adjourned until tomorrow. Jury was never called today due to a matter I can’t discuss because of a publication ban.
I imagine the pre-trial and in-trial delays for this murder must be such an emotional roller coaster for the victims friends & family
15. Such a ban helps ensure that jury doesn’t prematurely find out details via media before they are appropriately presented them in court.

And helps ensure the accused gets a fair trial.
14. It’s standard in murder trials to have a publication ban preventing media from publishing what is being said during proceedings where jury isn’t present.

13. The Jury still hasn’t been called.
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
Note: This murder trial is in it’s 3rd week yet the jury has only heard the not guilty plea, housekeeping rules (including the Judges’s caution to not be racist against Ali) and apologies about the delays before getting dismissed.
12. After Ali, was charged with the first degree murder of a BC teen protests occurred condemning Trudeau & some questioning whether Canada properly vetted the refugees Trudeau fast tracked into Canada.
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
Syrians residing in BC also joined protests to condemn the murder.
11. Good question Mel

In 2015, Trudeau promised Canadians that no single military aged men would be brought into Canada when he “fast-tracked” 25K Syrian refugees into the country
Yet, Ibrahim Ali, accused of murdering a BC girl 3 months after arriving was single & military age pic.twitter.com/yMtsXienT3
10. The gallery for this murder trial has filled up post break.
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
As in previous hearings there are many journalists and a small amount of friends / family of the victim. But now there are also a significant amount of young people who appear the age the victim would be if survived.
9. Just my luck. CSASPP’s proceeding went on break shortly after me entering the gallery.
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
Court for this proceeding is now on break.
Spoke with some of CSASPP’s supporters and I’m now back in courtroom 55 re the murder trial for the accused, Ibrahim Ali.
8. Lapper summarizes CSASPP’s case as the claim that the provincial health officer went toofar in protecting British columbians. She missed the mark and now everyone in the province must pay damages to themselves.
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
Says that type of decision making is different from case law.
7. Gov lawyer Emily Lapper is continuing with submissions.

CSASPP’s lawyer Polina Furtula will be doing submissions potentially on Thursday, but for sure on Friday. pic.twitter.com/QMNi3jYaGl
6. CSASPP’s case seeking to sue on behalf of British Columbians’for Dr. Bonnie Henry’s COVID emergency declaration began on Monday and is expected to run until the 28th.

5. Spending the break time from the Ali Murder trial in courtroom 55.
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
The Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy (CSASPP) is seeking certification for a class action lawsuit against BC’s PHO Dr. Bonnie Henry’s declaration of a COVID emergency.
4. Another delay!
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
Jury has not been called and court is breaking for 30 mins for reasons I am not at liberty to publish due to a publication ban.
I’m in courtroom 53 which is 2 doors away from courtroom 55 where a COVID related hearing is taking place.
Heading there now.
3. Despite this murder trial beginning on April 6th, it is expected that today we will finally hear opening remarks from both parties.
— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) April 26, 2023
*The B.C. teen was murdered in 2017 and Ali, was charged with 1st degree murder in 2018, so it’s taken nearly 6 years for this trial to start.
