Interview on Abdirahman Abdi killing by police, context of anti-Black sanism

Program Title: Anti-Black sanism: The police killing of Abdirahman Abdi and more broadly
Description: This interview will help deepen the understanding of the intersectionality between anti-Black racism and mental health oppression (aka sanism). Not only is the current incident - the Ottawa police killing of Abdirahman Abdi on July 24, 2016 - and context discussed, but a history going back some 30 years, and expanding the discussion to the prison and mental health systems.

There are a number of important resources referenced in the interview, and connections made to how anti-Black sanism is a systemic problem in the incarceration and mental health systems.

Also at that link is a detailed breakdown of the main topics covered in the interview, in chronological order.

Black Lives Matter is not actually mentioned at any point in the interview, but it is definitely very much to do with that topic / movement.

And to note: the show is 29min 25sec, but the last minute or so is music and so could be faded out at any time. Also the main interview starts about 2 1/2 min in, so the start is also not fully necessary (it's a clip from CBC radio, a short summary of what anti-Black sanism is from Idil, then a bit of music leading in to the beginning of the formal interview)
