Omar Kahdr’s Interrogation Video From Guantanamo.

Another proud moment in US history
Kahdr held in Concentration Camp for 5 years without charge.

A Canadian citizen born in Toronto, he is the youngest prisoner held in extrajudicial detention by the United States and has been frequently referred to as a child soldier. The only Western citizen remaining in Guantanamo, Khadr is unique in that Canada has refused to seek extradition or repatriation despite the urgings of Amnesty International, UNICEF, the Canadian Bar Association and other prominent organisations.

Khadr is the only Guantanamo detainee who has faced a judge and who is not boycotting the military tribunals, and has spent six years in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps charged with war crimes and providing support to terrorism after allegedly throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier. In February 2008, the Pentagon accidentally released documents that revealed that although Khadr was present during the firefight, there was no other evidence that he had thrown the grenade. In fact, military officials had originally reported that another of the surviving militants had thrown the grenade just before being killed.

Eixo do Muito-Mal: Canadá proíbe a entrada de ativistas americanos pela paz de entrarem no país!!!

De acordo com autoridades do Canadá, os ativistas foram proibidos de entrar no país – onde iriam organizar protestos contra a guerra do Iraque – por seus nomes estarem numa espécie de lista negra do FBI.

Leia o apelo do grupo Global Exchange ( em inglês, óbvio ) e assine a petição online ( se é que vai funcionar ) para cobrar do governo canadense a mudança nessa situação. Assine, faça como fizeram Suzan Sarandon, Noam Chomsky e o grandioso Willie Nelson.

Canada Blocks Peacemakers at Border

Sign our pledge to tell the Canadian Government and the FBI to stop blacklisting peacemakers On October 4, 2007

Global Exchange co-founder Medea Benjamin and Retired Colonel and Diplomat Ann Wright were denied entry to Canada because they have engaged in acts of non-violent civil disobedience against the war in Iraq. Join Susan Sarandon, Alice Walker, Noam Chomsky and hundreds of peacemakers in signing a petition urging the FBI to stop including minor non-violent offenses on a database meant for serious crimes, and the Canadian government to reverse its policy and extend a warm welcome to U.S. peacemakers and other social activists. It is time to stand up for peacemakers and other human rights activists who use the time-honored tradition of engaging in civil disobedience as a way to change unjust policies. Sign the pledge TODAY.
