Citizenship and Immigration committee  All I want from you is to help bring more Yazidis, because I've been there and I've gone through it. I was handcuffed one day, with my kids in front of me. I defended my honour and it didn't go the way they wanted it to and that's why I have gone through a lot. I want Canada to b

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm very thankful. I'm safe here, but I don't have a good time because all I think about is my daughter and my mom and my family over there, so I am not comfortable. Otherwise, I feel safe and secure here. I'm especially thankful for the British government and also the NGOs. Thos

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There are very bad conditions. The Yazidi people are living in tents. All I want is if you could bring more Yazidi families over here to Canada to help them because the situation over there is that they are living in tents. What happened to them is very difficult for the families

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't think they are already registered with an organization that can help them. Some people, including my brother, are in the hands of ISIS. They desperately want to get somewhere and they can't. That's the priority I'm talking about. One of my brothers was wounded by ISIS, so

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have had no information or phone calls from her, and it's been three years. But it was my honour, and she was taken in front of my eyes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm looking for some way—I don't know how to do it—to bring my mom, and also my brother and sister here to Canada. They live in a tent in northern Iraq and the conditions are really difficult, so I don't know what to do. If you could help....

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If I tell you my story, it's going to take days, so I just told you the simple part of it, and it was all honest. I hope you bring Yazidi families from northern Iraq, not from Turkey. We haven't done anything wrong to any other nation in the region. All that has happened to us

Citizenship and Immigration committee  They could bring Yazidis from Iraq. They should bring most of the Yazidis from Iraq to here. This is part of what they could do. It has been three years that our honour has been managed in the hands of ISIS and nobody has given any kind of useful help to us to secure those fami

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Canada could be helpful and open those graves, basically, and examine them and find out through DNA which body belongs to whom, and to have some respect. Also, I mention again that Canada could be helpful by bringing more Yazidis from there to here.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  They should help to—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We want you to bring more Yazidis in this situation and to help us. Our rent is too high. If you could help us, and also if you could bring my brother, sister, and my mom.... I tried to commit suicide three times, but because of my kids, I couldn't. My kid was 10, and in front of

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thanks all.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much, Canadian government, for giving us all this help, and also, thank you for letting me express my problems. I really thank you. I was under arrest by ISIS for two years. I was at the point of committing suicide. My kids were there with me but I couldn't do an
