- Canadian_response_to_Omar_Khadr abstract "A Canadian captured by American forces in Afghanistan at the age of 15, Omar Khadr has often been seen as less important than what he represents in Canada. The only Western citizen remaining in Guantanamo, Khadr is unique in that Canada has refused to seek extradition or repatriation despite the urgings of Amnesty International, the Canadian Bar Association and other prominent organisations. His lawyer Dennis Edney has summarised the differential response towards Khadr stating that "one of the problems" with defending the youth is that he's a member of the Khadr family rather than "a Smith or an Arar"In a 2012 poll, 60% of Canadian citizens oppose Khadr's return to Canada.For several years following Khadr's capture in 2002, his case did not generate any "serious controversy". Once his military tribunals began however, his case drew considerable attention as a child soldier, with commentators seizing on the fact he is the youngest prisoner held in extrajudicial detention by the United States to face charges in the War on Terror. At this time, commentators began trying to distance Khadr from Canada, suggesting that he had never really been a Canadian except by technicalities.[citation needed] By 2007, interest in his case had grown exponentially although Canadians remained divided on whether he should be repatriated.Canada's three main opposition parties, the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Québécois, have all condemned Prime Minister Stephen Harper for refusing to demand the United States turn Khadr over to Canadian authorities. Prior to Harper's appointment, two consecutive Liberal Prime Ministers had failed to make the same demand. In April 2008, Bill Graham, the former Foreign Affairs Minister, said that he regretted not having done more to help secure Khadr's release or repatriation while the Liberal government was in power.A 2009 Security Intelligence Review Committee panel determined that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service failed Khadr, by refusing to acknowledge his juvenile status or his repeated claims of being abused.Bureaucrats at Canada's Foreign Affairs Department refer to this as the "Khadr effect" after the father - the fear that sticking up for a Canadian citizen arrested in another country may come back to haunt the government. This refers to the events around former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chrétien securing the release from Pakistan of Omar Khadr's father, Ahmed Khadr - only to have the family return to Afghanistan and Ahmed Khadr later killed in a firefight in Pakistan in 2003.".
