Uncharged, untried - there is no legal basis, no judicial authorization, review, control, or oversight of Jack's detention which entirely lacks in predictability and due process of law. #FreeJackLetts

Congrats to Avery Haines & CTV News W5 on the Enterprise Journalism award for their documentary on Jack Letts, my Canadian nephew illegally detained in NE Syria for more than 3,100 days.

Last year, Rob Oliphant promised: "this situation would be treated with the 'utmost seriousness and the sense of urgency it absolutely deserves,' (apparently not seriously at all...)

"Canada has repatriated women and children from northeastern Syria under federal policy, but not any men, even though their conditions are more dire than those of the repatriated women and children." #FreeJackLetts

That's how long Canadian Jack Letts has been arbitrarily detained without charge under horrible conditions in NE Syria. Also held for years are 19 other Canadian women, children & men. Sign and share to bring them home: chng.it/C5tc5vHN

#Guantánamo @ 23 is an anniversary of “injustice, lawlessness, abuse of power, torture & indefinite detention.” 15 men remain, in one of the world's most notorious places of illegal imprisonment. Joe Biden has 9 more days to right these longstanding wrongs.
Guantanamo at 23: What’s next for the ‘lawless’ detention facility?
With 15 inmates remaining, advocates urge Biden to release more Gitmo detainees before he leaves office on January 20.

This is insane: “the C.I.A. would likely object to third-country transfers of its former prisoners who know classified information related to their detention, such as the identities of people who they say tortured them.”

Dozens of people went through that program and were released. Nothing happened

It's so irritating when the kids experience existential crises on a road trip and there's not a humbling natural landmark for another 60 miles.

Interesting article from 10 years ago (so perhaps this is common knowledge and not really a surprise to anyone by now?)

It talks about how info from intelligence agencies is fed to selected newspapers and journalists.

"They lied all the time".

1/14 To understand what's at stake for Cdns unlawfully locked up 7+ yrs in NE Syria & callow injustice of Canada's refusal to intervene to uphold their basic human rights, watch Avery Haines' documentary for CTV W5 & powerful interview with Jack Letts, imprisoned in Raqqa. youtu.be/HmXad5lnE_Q?...
