Small Protest Over Celil's Fate
A dozen people angered by China's lack of disclosure about what it has done with Canadian citizen Huseyincan Celil held a protest in Toronto on Thursday. It's good to see the main stream media is still picking up on this story, but it is unfortunate that only a dozen people went to the protest. I fear for Mr. Celil's life. Even if he is not to be put to death by the government in China he will certainly not be living a very enjoyable existence right now. Hopefully diplomatic channels can provide him some assistance.
If you want to help Mr. Celil out write a letter to your MP or Peter McKay the Minister of Foriegn Affairs insisting they do more to help him. I'm sure they're doing a lot of work behind the scenes but it will help for them to know that the public is aware of the situation and monitoring the government's progress.
