We request our Canadian government to intervene in the liberation of more than 3,000 Yazidi women and children who are still held by ISIS members in Iraq, Syria, and other states in the Middle East. We request our government to help support the creation of an autonomous region for the Yazidi and Chaldo-Assyrians in Sinjar and Nineveh Plains, with their own police and security forces, and provide necessary supplies and training to be able to defend themselves from any future attack.
We ask our government to send humanitarian aid on an urgent basis directly to those internally displaced in Iraq. There is a real threat of starvation, dehydration, and disease, especially in Mount Sinjar. This assistance should come from neutral, non-governmental sources to avoid the diversion of food, water, and medicine.
