DireTube News Stephen Harper urged to intervene as Canadian languishes in Ethiopian prison
As the eighth anniversary of the rendition and imprisonment of Canadian citizen Bashir Makhtal passes virtually unnoticed, his family members, supporters and Amnesty International are begging Prime Minister Stephen Harper to step in and directly negotiate with the Ethiopian government for his release.

“He’s still languishing in an Ethiopian prison cell, following a deeply unfair trial and appeal process and facing a life prison sentence,” said Alex Neve, secretary general of Amnesty International Canada.

“The fact we’re marking yet another unfortunate anniversary of Bashir Makhtal’s arrest and imprisonment … underscores the need for something different, and in our view that something has to be Prime Minister Harper’s personal involvement.”
