Kurdish forces patrol al-Hol camp, which houses families of members of the Islamic State group in Hasakeh province, Syria, Wednesday, April 19, 2023. The Canadian government has agreed to repatriate 19 women and children from the country, but has successfully appealed a court order to repatriate four men.
In a rare move, lawyers representing four Canadian men held in prisons in northeastern Syria have asked Canada's top court to reconsider its decision not to hear an appeal claiming Canada has a duty to bring them home.Kurdish forces patrol al-Hol camp, which houses families of members of the Islamic State group in northeastern Syria.
The court says it considers such judgments to be final and won't reconsider them unless there are "exceedingly rare circumstances." "Canada has consigned these men to exile," says the motion to reconsider an application for leave to appeal. "And there is a good likelihood that Canada will be consigning them to their deaths."
Sen. Kim Pate and adjunct professor of international human rights law Alex Neve were part of a delegation that travelled to northeastern Syria for a five-day visit in August 2023. "Mr. Ali and Mr. Letts both confirmed to our delegation that they are prepared to respond to any accusations that they have been involved in terrorist or any other criminal activity through fair legal proceedings in Canada," wrote Neve, the former secretary general of Amnesty International Canada.
