In a few days, it will mark the 7th year that our dear brother Omar Khadr has been wrongfully imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Seven arduous years of great difficulty, severe hardship, and physical torture on a daily basis has been afflicted upon Omar.
We as Canadians have failed to live up to the ideals that our nation was built upon. We have neglected and failed to hear the cries of our fellow Canadian. Omar was a mere 15 years old, when he was detained at Guantanamo Bay detention camp. He is the only the only Western citizen still being held by the United States at its military base in Cuba.
Come and join your fellow Canadians who want to uphold Canadian Justice on November 15th.
Here’s what you can do prior to November 15th.

-This is shame in human history. When some system begins capture children it means nothing works. I read plenty of cases.Mostly USa refuses lawyers for they are too ilegal in Guantanamo so basiclly even Americans does not exist in that place of human shame. I hope the best for the boy. Is Canada good place for him, I am not sure.To replace one Gitmo with another.One hatred and humilations with another in almost the same language.
