Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon says a "mutually acceptable" agreement was reached today with Ottawa to repatriate the 19 Canadians.
The Canadians are among the many foreign nationals in Syrian camps run by Kurdish forces that reclaimed the war-torn region from the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Family members of the women and children, as well as four men, have been arguing in Federal Court that the government must arrange for their return, saying that refusing to do so violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Greenspon says that as a result of the agreement, the application from the six women and 13 children is being discontinued, but the case of the four men remains before the court.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 19, 2023.
I thought this picture was mask litter.
They should have to live with their lawyers.
Why? They made their choice to support terrorism and they should live with that choice for the rest of their lives. There should be no repatriation for those who support terrorism.
Canada bring people that grew up as terrorists. Leave them there.
MONSTERS. These women left to join ISIS in its reign of terror against humanity. The innocent children they bore before/during/after should be freed from them and raised by human beings here, but these women should rot where they are.
can you please close this news item comments section? Everything here is entirely made of hateful, racist and very hurtful messages. A lot of this directed at immigrants. Sad that this news inspires such ugly responses from people. Your social media team should monitor.
Great job Canada! After what the west has done to their country that's the least we could do for them.
Awesome job by feds and thanks to beautiful 'charter of rights', smart decision for the future of this country, now let's bring all terrorists from all over the world to Canada and give them citizenship!
Future problems Canadianized.
Let them go to Afghanistan. They hated our way of life. Under the Taliban they will feel at home.
Welcome back terrorists
Nice job Trudeau!!! Join a freedom convoy get locked up and money stolen. Join ISIS to kill ppl and get welcomed back. Probably will get millions from him too.
