Charles Neel, the person who is alleged to have committed the crime was arrested on December 5 and charged with her murder.
Later today the Vancouver trans community and their allies will have a rally starting at 4 PM PST in support of January. They will gather at the New Westminster City Hall and march to the New Westminster Provincial Courthouse in a call for justice for January Lapuz and in opposition to the release of Charles Neel.
Activists at this rally will call on the Canadian federal and British Columbia provincial governments to immediately enshrine human rights protections at the federal and the provincial level in BC for all gender variant, transgender, transsexual, two spirit, intersexual, and other individuals.
They will also call for general reform and improvement of BC's Trans Health Program, and ending the mistreatment of Canada's transgender and gender variant citizens.
Good luck and hope you have a sizable turnout for this event.
