A good father was unjustly sentenced to life in prison.
Dear Tracy,
I'm writing to you today because a brave man - a good father - was unjustly sentenced to life in prison. You and I might be his only hope to regaining freedom and seeing his loving family again.
In 2006, Canadian citizen Huseyin Celil was ripped away from his family, and then began a nightmare of serious human rights violations, including a blatantly unfair detention, trial and life sentence in China. He's often been kept in solitary confinement, and was likely tortured, including beatings and threats.
Will you help bring him home?
At home in Burlington, Ontario with their four children, Huseyin's wife Kamila continues to cry out for support and pressure on the Chinese government. Kamila and her children don’t know if they will ever see Huseyin again. Please stand with Kamila and Amnesty International to urge the Chinese government to act on Huseyin's case.
Huseyin cannot defend himself and he cannot even ask you for your help. But he and his family desperately need you to act now. Please take action.
Sincerely,
Alex Neve
Secretary General, Amnesty International Canada
