(OTTAWA) A human rights group is reporting that a Canadian mother trying to leave a Syrian detention center with her six children suffered another setback this week when a fire damaged her tent.
Alexandra Bain, of Families Against Violent Extremism, explains that the Quebecer and several of her children were treated at a clinic after the fire that broke out in the tent’s kitchen.
MMe Bain, who is in regular contact with the woman and her neighbors at the camp, said he informed Global Affairs Canada of the fire.
The Federal Foreign Office explains that it cannot comment on individual cases for data protection reasons.
A lawyer trying to help the family recently reported that Ottawa will not help the Quebecer return to Canada because authorities believe she poses a security risk.
That means she has to stay at camp with her children or send them on a flight to Canada without them, where they have no other family.
