    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Canadian Museum for Human Rights says it fully supports calls to search for the remains of Indigenous women believed to be the victims of an alleged Winnipeg serial killer.

    The push to search the privately owned Prairie Green landfill, north of Winnipeg, for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran has been growing.

    Last month, supporters set up Camp Marcedes — an encampment named for Myran — outside the human rights museum at The Forks, shortly after an injunction was granted to remove protesters who had been blockading the entrance to the city-owned Brady Road landfill in south Winnipeg.

    Late last year, Winnipeg police said they believe the remains of Harris and Myran were taken to the Prairie Green landfill in May 2022, but that it would not have been feasible to search by the time that determination was made.

    In her letter to Merrick, Khan alludes to the financial and safety concerns, calling them “issues on which we defer to others” but adds “given our role, we must affirm the human rights imperative to act.”

    “We carry the responsibility to honour those who have been murdered or gone missing,” the letter said, and “to highlight how Canada’s treatment of Indigenous peoples often offends the ideas of universal dignity that underpin our national commitment to human rights.”


    I’m a bot and I’m open source!
