Canadian Huseyincan Celil left to rot by Harper's stooges

A Canadian citizen, Huseyincan Celil, was arrested in Uzbekistan when he returned there to take his children to Canada. Celil has been an outspoken critic of Uzbekistan’s neo-communist dictator, Karimov, the body boiler. He is also an advocate of China’s oppressed Uighur Muslims, whose homeland is being inundated by Chinese Han settlers. The Canadian government has done little - almost nothing . Celil faces ghastly tortures, like other Uzbek political prisoners, and possible execution – or, just as bad, being handed over to China.

The Good news so far is that Mrs. Celil arrived in Toronto together with her two children on April 21st. A large group of people welcomed her. We would like to thank media for their sincere support and coverage both on TV and newspaper.Turkish community members were all united with single voice.

The legal counsel for the Celil family, Chris MacLeod stated that there will be media conferences throughout next week in Hamilton, Burlington and Ottawa.

Mrs. Celil reiterated, based on the Uzbek officials assertion, that the Canadian officials have not yet requested Mr. Celil officially as a citizen of Canada. The Canadian fficials, instead, asked Mr. Celil's situation and why he was under detention. The Uzbek authorities once again implied that if they had received a request from Canada, they would definitely consider returning to Canada. Advocates of Mr. Celil, are gravely concerned about the government's steps, as to whether they are doing something or just hiding behind the Privacy Protection Act.
