Instead of focusing on my shame as a Canadian over Omar’s treatment, I will donate to this fund and focus on the positive…namely those Canadians who are faithful to the cause.
Around the 5th of October I sent a $ 50.00 cheque in support of Mr. Khadr and I am starting to wonder what is going on . Your ” thermometer ” hasn’t moved from just over $ 20,000.00 for well over a month . All that is required here is a little update ( I’m assuming the response to your appeal for funds has surprised you , which is great for everybody involved , but how about a ” thermometer ” update ) . Thank you .

Hi Larry, thanks for your message and thank you very much for your support for Dennis’ work to free Omar. (Hope you received the personal thank you card we sent to the address on the cheque.) It’s indeed wonderful to see there are so many fair-minded people in Canada (and worldwide) who are helping Dennis in this important fight for fundamental justice.
Dennis Edney will continue to represent Omar on a pro bono basis. The donations are and will be used for upcoming legal expense costs for expert witnesses, professional fees, disbursements, travel, etc.
The fund reached 22,000 last week, which is great. We will set the barometer according to that this weekend. (To be precise about our updates: the last 21,000 update was Nov 1, (2 weeks ago) And the 20,000 update was Oct. 16.).
Thanks again Larry.
