Critics Say Return Unlawfully Detained Muslims For Ramadan
As Ramadan begins for Muslims worldwide, some Canadian Muslims are concerned for loved ones unlawfully detained in northeast Syria.
An estimated four dozen Canadian Muslims have spent three or more years detained in squalid prisons and camps for people suspected of ties to ISIS.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau releases statements at the beginning of every Ramadan and visits Muslim community centers to break fast with worshippers.
But the Canadian government has been criticized for abandoning those detained Canadian Muslims, more than half of them young children.
Critics say they are being held in degrading, often inhumane conditions in northeast Syria, critics say.
