“This letter supports a campaign of the War Resisters Support Campaign
in Canada. It goes to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Minister of
Citizenship and Immigration Diane Finley.”

Dear: Ministers

During the period of 1965-1973, more than 50,000 draft-age Americans
made their way to Canada, refusing to participate in an immoral war.

Canada is now faced with the same moral choice – to give refuge to
those who refuse to be accomplices in the US-led war on Iraq, which
many legal opinions have deemed illegal under international law.

If these young people are returned to the United States, they face
incarceration and possibly even the death penalty. Canada should not
facilitate the persecution of American war objectors by returning them
to the United States.

I call on the Canadian government to demonstrate its commitment to
international law and the treaties to which it is a signatory, by
making provision for US war objectors to have sanctuary in Canada.

Sincerely yours

Your name and address
