A brave man — a good father — has been jailed for life following an unfair trial in China with no hope of seeing his loving family again. Amnesty International is working around the clock to bring Huseyin Celil safely home to his wife and young children.
Huseyin cannot defend himself and he cannot even ask you for your help. But he and his family from Burlington, Canada desperately need you to act now.
Husein Celil (also known as Huseyin Dzhelil) is a member of China’s Uighur minority. In the 1990s, he suffered persecution and detention in China for his work advocating for the religious and political rights of the Uighur people. He fled China and made his way to Turkey, where he was recognized as a refugee by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Celil was resettled to Canada in 2001. He has been a Canadian citizen since November 2005.
In February 2006, Celil was picked up by Chinese police in Uzbekistan, where he was on holiday visiting his wife’s family. He was sent to China to face trial, and was held in secrecy without access to a lawyer, his family, or access to Canadian officials. He was subjected to threats that he would be ‘disappeared’ or ‘buried alive’ unless he signed a confession. China refused to recognize Celil’s status as a Canadian citizen, and Canadian officials were not allowed to attend the trial.
Celil was sentenced to life imprisonment in China after an unfair trial, and he is still there, despite the attempts at intervention by the Canadian government.
There are reports that he has been tortured and ill-treated while in prison.
Huseyin Celil could have be your husband. Huseiyin Celil could be your father.
