Kamila Telendibaeva, wife of Huseyin Celil, a Canadian
citizen serving a life sentence in China, holds a news
conference on behalf of her husband yesterday in Ottawa.
Canada has no right to interfere in the case of a
Canadian Muslim activist sentenced this month to life in
prison in China for alleged terror links, China’s Foreign
Ministry said yesterday.
Huseyin Celil, whose wife and four children live in
Burlington, was convicted of the crimes of "separating China"
and "organizing, leading and participating in terrorist groups, organizations."
Canada has been lobbying for his release and the dispute
is expected to come up when Foreign Minister
Peter MacKay visits China, April 29 to May 1.
"We believe the case is China’s internal affair and in essence
relates to anti-terrorism," said Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesman Liu Jianchao at a news briefing. "It has no
connection with Canada. We hope the Canadian side will
not interfere with China’s internal affairs under this pretext."
Celil’s wife, Kamila Telendibaeva, is asking the federal
government to do more to free him. She is urging
Peter MacKay to raise her husband’s case when he visits
China. Celil was arrested in 1994 and tortured, but
escaped from prison in 2000 and fled to Uzbekistan
and Turkey before reaching Canada, where he was
given citizenship.
Please explain to me how someone with a prison record
and an escapee entered canada and got citenzenship?
CHINA IS WITHIN ITS RIGHTS to ask Canada told not
to interfere in rights case- this man is an escaped
prisoner!
WORSE HE WENT BACK THERE-
WHAT THE HELL DID HE EXPECT?
