TORONTO -- Foreign Affairs is scrambling for information after word that a Canadian man being held in China could be executed as early as this week.

Huseyin Celil's sister in China called the imprisoned man's wife in Burlington, Ont. earlier last week, saying he was being held in a prison in western China and could be executed by Aug. 10.

Celil's wife, Kamila Telendibaeva, said a police officer from the Kashgar area leaked the details to her sister-in-law, who has been trying to find his whereabouts for weeks.

Celil was arrested in Uzbekistan in March while visiting his wife's family.

(I emailed My NDP MP Catherine Bell, Jack Layton, Harper and MacKay. Not sure what else can be done. Hopefully Mr. MacKay can be a "hero" to Mr. Celil, too.)
