Thank you for contacting the Free Omar Khadr Now Campaign. We have prepared the following statement in response to the government’s latest attempt to delay justice for Omar Khadr.
.
The Free Omar Khadr Now Campaign, along with many fair-minded Canadians that tomorrow Omar Khadr wbe free on bail. He has been illegally imprisoned since the age of 15 and his case has cried out for justice since 2002.
.
Unfortunately, the government is seeking to secure a delay in his release by appealing Judge Ross’ decision.
.
The government’s unrelenting vilification of Omar and their “knee jerk” appeal of every court decision has prolonged his twelve-year struggle for justice. Judge Ross confirmed that Omar Khadr is a “model prisoner”, has great community support and is likely to win the U.S. appeal to overturn all ‘convictions’.
.
Despite this, the government continues to spread baseless lies linking Omar to “jihadism” and in so doing, inflicts great personal injury.
.
The rights, freedom and liberties of all Canadians are diminished by the actions of this government.
.
We extend our deepest respect to Omar Khadr for the dignity and strength he has maintained throughout the years of this horrendous ordeal.
