What you can do
You can join or organize a protest.
You can attend a vigil at Parliament Hill on Saturday, April 4th, from 12pm to 4pm.
If you are a Canadian you can write to your MP, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and ask them why the government, or their party, has not done more to have Khadr transferred from US to Canadian custody. You might want to ask them what their stance is on child soldiers and why Khadr is not receiving the protection that child soldiers are entitled to. You may also wish to mention that your vote next election will depend on how they respond to Khadr’s situation. Amnesty Canada also has a webpage where you can easily email the Prime Minister requesting Khadr’s return to Canada.
General letter writing tips from Amnesty Canada can be found here. Tips specific to Khadr’s situation can be found here.
You can tell your friends and family about Khadr’s situation and this website.
You can join our Flickr tag group.
Finally, you can donate money to organizations that are working to increase global respect for human rights and the treatment of children in war, such as Amnesty International, Human Rights First, Human Rights Watch, or WarChild.
