US EditionCanadian men, children held in Syria pursue human rights complaints against Ottawa
- Twelve Canadian nationals, including men and young children held in Syria, have submitted human rights complaints accusing the Canadian government of neglecting to assist with their repatriation as of 2025.
- The complaints allege that Ottawa’s federal repatriation policy treats Canadian men and children born to non-Canadian mothers unfairly due to their age, gender, and family circumstances.
- The detainees live in overcrowded, unsanitary prison cells in Kurdish-run camps, lacking adequate food, medical care, and legal process, including Jack Letts who suffers serious health issues.
- Lawyer Nicholas Pope emphasized that all Canadians deserve equal treatment and criticized Ottawa for selectively denying the return of certain detainees, despite requests from foreign authorities holding them.
- The Canadian government denies discrimination allegations, opposes the commission's involvement, and continues assessing repatriation without a final decision, reflecting ongoing legal and policy disputes.
