Dr. Norman Finkelstein is scheduled to speak at Mohawk College on Saturday, February 19. But, after signing a contract for the event booking, Mohawk later decided to add a $1500 "security" fee for the unexpected hiring of eight security officers. Organizers believe that the last-minute surprise charge is intended to stifle the event. Grace Batchoun, Vice President of Public Relations for Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, explains the situation.
