Ottawa says it will not repatriate woman with six children in Syria because she has ‘extremist ideological beliefs’
A lawyer says Canada will not repatriate a Quebec woman being held in Syria with her six children because officials believe she poses a security risk.
The department wrote on June 21 that the woman has “extremist ideological beliefs” that may lead her to act violently, and the government cannot ensure no such conduct occurs, he said Monday. “This business about them not having the ability to oversee the conduct is a complete falsehood. It’s an outright lie,” he said in an interview.
Global Affairs said in writing late last November that the woman and her children had met the criteria for federal consideration of assistance to Canadians detained in the region.
