More on the SLA soldiers who are likely being sent to certain death. From WND, with thanks to JJP Mackie:
Seven Lebanese are scheduled today for deportation from Canada into the hands of terrorists likely to imprison, torture or kill them, say activists working on their behalf.They say Canada may be in violation of the 1984 International Convention Against Torture by deporting the seven veterans of the South Lebanon Army, formerly allies of Israel.
Two recent examples illustrate these international law violations by Canadian immigration authorities, say human rights activists Jerry Gordon and Brigitte Gabriel.
In the first example, an SLA vet had fled South Lebanon via Israel in 1992. He entered Canada and obtained his citizenship after more than 12 years of residency. He was arrested in July 2004 at the Beirut International Airport, detained and tortured in Lebanon. He went on a compassionate mission to visit his sick elderly parents living there. The SLA vet had a Canadian passport and a valid Lebanese visa.
In the second example, SLA vet Ibrahim el Khoury along with his wife Norma Ata and his two children Kamal and Elie (the infant being a Canadian citizen) were arrested on their arrival at Beirut International Airport Sept. 27, 2004. Ibrahim was imprisoned and tortured while the family was detained for a few days and harshly interrogated.
"Little time remains for effective action to save the SLA veterans from almost certain death at the hands of Hezbollah operations and militias now in control of Southern Lebanon," said Gordon and Brigitte [Gabriel] in a prepared statement. "It is absurd that Canada, one of the world’s premier human rights advocates and sanctuaries would permit this travesty of justice to unfold."
They blame false allegations by Hezbollah terrorists and their allies in Canada.
Lesson to be learned: denying Islamic brutality hurts innocents.
These are "alleged" tortured,remember it's the Muslims that love to use the word "Alleged" when any terrorism or crime is comitted by one of them.
Why even the fire-bombing of a Jewish school by a Muslim was said to be "Alleged" until it was proven,now that the weasel admitted to the arson the Muslims community claims he was a misguide youth not know the true teaching of Islam and the peacefull was of Muhammed.
If those ccuntries were as bad as Muslims claim they wouldn't be visiting them after they had made a refugee claim in Canada based on how bad that country was. With over 6 billion people living outside of Canada, I wonder how many Canadians would pay higher taxes to take in the perceive oppressed that want to flee here for safety. Ahmed Ressam lived on weldare for 5 years and was a career criminal,he attended a militant Mosque in Montreal and was later caught at the US border as the "Millenium-bomber" on his way to blow-up the LAX airport.
I'm sure he too claimed to be in danger if returned to his native land in the Middle East.
The American government should be persuaded or pressured to offer asylum to akk these members of the South Lebanon Army. And Canadians should express, to their own government, their shame and chagrin over its behavior.
