Marston’s Khadr motion passes: repatriation urged

OTTAWA – Yesterday, the House of Commons passed New Democrat Human Rights Critic Wayne Marston’s concurrence motion which calls for the immediate repatriation of Omar Khadr.

Marston’s motion endorses a report compiled a year ago by the House Subcommittee on Human Rights which called for Khadr’s repatriation.

“It is now the will of the House that the child solider Omar Khadr be repatriated,” said Marston. “Canadians have spoken through their representatives. It is time for the Prime Minister to bring Omar Khadr home.”
