A demonstration yesterday called upon the federal government for the repatriation of Omar Khadr and the United States' military release of Khadr from prison in Guantánamo. Khadr was arrested by the U.S. military in Afghanistan when he was only 15 years old in 2002. He is the only Western citizen left in Guantánamo. October 5 to 11 has been declared a pan-Canadian week of action for Khadr's cause.
