eldest son of Mahmoud Jaballah, one of the three detainees at the
"Guantanamo North" prison near Kingston, Ontario. Jaballah has been
detained without charge, on secret evidence, for more than five years;

the three inmates at Guantanamo North.

* AMIR HODHOD: Amir was an immigrant justice and workers rights
activist with groups like Solidarity Across Borders and the Workers
Solidarity Network in Montreal. On December 27, 2006, after several
months living without legal status in Canada, he was deported to the
United States and spent 7 days in the Buffalo Federal Detention
Facility. Amir was recently released on payment of an expensive bond,
and speaks about his experience from the streets of Jersey City where
he currently lives and continues his struggle for status.
