Please sign and share: https://www.change.org/p/i-forgot-what-the-sun-looks-like-free-jack-letts-and-all-canadian-detainees-in-ne-syria  An average of 3 children a week die from preventable diseases and violence in NE Syria detention camps under conditions the UN calls "akin to torture." Thousands are illegally detained  – including 44 Canadian men, women & kids – in camps/prisons called "Guantanamo on the Euphrates". Ottawa refuses to repatriate the Canadians (including Jack Letts, arbitrarily detained over 5 years), even though Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, The International Committee of the Red Cross, the United Nations, the US State Department, Save the Children and, in a rare show of cross-party unanimity,  a Canadian Parliamentary Committee, have all called for repatriation. 

In addition to signing this petition, you can pick a free day to fast during the  Mother's Day to Father's Day chain fast to bring them home. Can you fast for a day between now and Father's Day? If so, please email tasc@web.ca and we'll arrange a day for you to join the chain fast.  Learn more at http://homesnotbombs.blogspot.com/2022/04/mothers-day-to-fathers-day-chain-fast.html

On May 12, Sally, Jack's mother, visited the Prime Minister's office to request a meeting. Her eloquent statement on why such a meeting is desperately needed can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8e-Jlfn0i4

Last week, Sally’s interview on the history of her family's efforts to bring home Jack and the other detainees, situated in a broader pattern of decades-long Canadian government abuses, was released. It's an outstanding work of journalistic integrity by Talking Radical Radio's Scott Neigh, accompanied by excellent in-depth writing: https://mediacoop.ca/node/119059?fbclid=IwAR3U2Np3xbU8I9eg0duMR2FBDu5xO7WRWBQcQ8-VXID6khmQVAZUyRwhejU
