Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government has yet to decide if it will appeal or accept a federal court order to repatriate Canadian men who have been jailed in northeastern Syria.
"We're looking at it carefully. Obviously - making sure we're defending Canadians' safety and security is always going to be a priority for us," PM Trudeau said Monday, while taking questions from reporters during a visit to a quantum technology firm in Toronto.
One day later, Federal Court Justice Henry Brown ruled it would be a violation of the Charter to abandon the men. "Can I tell you for sure all four men are still alive? I can't, but it's certainly our hope that these four men will be able to be brought home to Canada," said Greenspon.Letta Tayler, the associate director of the crisis and conflict division of Human Rights Watch calls the decision "potentially groundbreaking."
"This is putting these mothers into an untenable situation, giving them this horrific choice." Tayler said the mothers are being forced to cut ties with their children in order to provide them with a future.
