The federal government agreed last month to repatriate six Canadian women and 13 children who spent years detained in these camps in northeast Syria
being held in prisons there. But there are a number of other Canadians stuck there, who were not part of the initial court application, including children.
She said she heard from three women directly who told her Canadian officials told them they had just over a week to decide whether they wanted the government to repatriate their children – and if they stick to that timeline, the deadline is Tuesday. She said that on Jan. 26 she was brought to an intelligence office for a video call with a Global Affairs official who asked if she had considered Canada’s offer to repatriate her children, excluding her, because she’s not Canadian.
She said it has been particularly challenging for this son. She said his teeth are rotten and he’s malnourished because of an infection in his digestive system. He also requires surgery to treat carotid artery stenosis, she said. She said she cannot return home to her country of birth because of its grave human-rights record.
“These children are ultimately the ones who are being asked to pay the price. Haven’t they been through enough?” she said.
