This week's episode covers the unique and challenging situation of Canadian citizens who continue to be detained in northern Syria, including Canadian children. We discuss the circumstances that led to this, the conditions of detention, and the response of the Canadian government. Local authorities actually want the Canadian government to step in, but the Canadian government has not. Nobody seems to have a long-term plan for what is going to happen to those imprisoned - the guilty or the innocent.
Farida Deif of Human Rights Watch and Justin Mohammed of Amnesty International Canada (and a former classmate of mine) join me to discuss this under-recognized crisis.
