Urgent: Ryan Friesen Convicted of Femicide Is Living Freely in Canada

The Issue

This is an urgent call for action.

Ryan Friesen was initially found not guilty in Mexico for the murder of Kiara Agnew.

That verdict has been overturned, and he was convicted of femicide, a rare and serious legal decision that reflects the gravity of the evidence.

Despite this conviction, Ryan Friesen is now living freely in Canada.

Femicide is not a technicality. It is the killing of a woman because she is a woman. When a conviction for femicide is ignored or allowed to lose force across borders, justice fails, not only Kiara, but every woman at risk.

Why Immediate Action Is Needed

 • A not-guilty verdict was overturned to a guilty conviction for femicide

 • This type of reversal is rare and signals the seriousness of the crime

 • Allowing a convicted offender to live without scrutiny undermines public safety

 • Silence and inaction enable impunity

Our Demands

We call on:

 • Canadian authorities to immediately review Ryan Friesen’s status in Canada

 • International and Mexican authorities to ensure the conviction is fully recognized and enforced

 • Government leaders to act decisively in cases of gender-based violence

Justice delayed is justice denied.

A conviction for femicide must carry weight, no matter where the offender goes.

Justice for Kiara cannot wait.

Accountability must be immediate.
