Petition to the Government of Canada
- A high-profile Canadian member of the ISIS terrorist group, 28 year old Abu Turaab Al-Kanadi, has been captured by Kurdish security forces;
- Several other former Canadian residents who have fought with ISIS are detained by Kurdish forces in Syria;
- Kurdish officials wish to transfer Ali, along with other terrorist suspects they have captured, back to Canada to face justice and prosecution for their crimes, including war crimes;
- Public reports indicate the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is having difficulty charging returning ISIS fighters with criminal offenses, raising concern that they may not be detained, and face justice, upon their return to Canada; and
- Canadian ISIS recruits who return to Canada pose an overwhelming threat to public safety and our communities if they are not arrested and prosecuted for their crimes overseas.
