Description

Autumn Montréal The Québec Human Rights Commission dropped Stuart Russell's discrimination case against COJO. Russell was fired from his position at COJO for being a gay activist and for taking part in a demonstration against a pre-Olympic crackdown on the city's gay community. The commission claimed that it had no jurisdiction in the affair because Russell's firing on June 24, 1976, came four days before the commission officially began operation.
