Canada Must Stop Monstering Jack Letts and Bring Him Home: Part one of a series on Canadian complicity in arbitrary detention and the false labeling used to justify it.

His story reveals an idealistic, compassionate young man of 18 whose 2014 decision to go to Syria to help end the suffering of its people made him an easy target for the Global War On Terror (GWOT) propaganda machine that accuses without evidence, detains without charge, assigns inaccurate and damaging labels, tortures with impunity, condemns by association, and relies on broad definitions of alleged threats to get away with crimes that violate the most basic human rights guaranteed by the so-called “rules-based international order.”
