Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Okay. You know what? Gandhi said that every journey begins with one small step. I think we've given you lots of ideas today about things you can do. I certainly hope you'll consider Bill S-204. Other countries, I think Sweden is one and the U.K. is one.... I think even the Unit

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  You have to understand that the information we get from this province is very, very limited. Some of the press reports that we have depend on some of the academics we hear from, and they depend on personal reports and personal witnesses such as you've heard today. It's my unders

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I honestly don't know. I heard a little bit about that this morning. I know there are concerns about the spread of the COVID-19 virus in these detention centres. Certainly if people are being forced to work in areas where they don't have protection, that is not what one would cal

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That might be the case. I have not seen any information to that end. I don't know if Mehmet has. I just know that forced organ harvesting is an affront to any human right that I know of, and we should do everything we can to stop it.

Certainly I know they use it for tracing and they use it for following people. I believe that it is also used

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  What can I say to improve upon what Mehmet has said?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I personally don't have the source, but I can certainly get it for you, Mr. Sweet. I got it from a very reliable source.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I will send it to you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. Thank you for allowing me to speak to you. It's a privilege to join you and to be able to speak on behalf of Canadians in Support of Refugees in Dire Need. This is a multidisciplinary, multifaith group. I'm not going to apologi
