The federal government has refused to help her uncle get her out of Syria
Her uncle has been trying to get her out of Syria and to Canada but the federal government has refused to help.
His lawyers filed a lawsuit in Federal Court today saying that in failing to assist the child, the government is violating her rights. The Liberal government has no diplomatic representation in Syria and has claimed it is too dangerous to send people in to get Amira, and dozens of other Canadian citizens, out.
In the court application, lawyers note that other countries that do not have consular services in Syria have leaned on other countries or humanitarian groups to help repatriate their citizens.
