6. Who is this guy?
From the Original Post (OP):

"...It also wouldn't recognize Celil's Canadian citizenship, which he earned in November of last year."

"...In 1994, Celil was arrested in China on charges of forming a political party, his wife said. After serving just a month in prison, he escaped, eventually buying false documents to enter Uzbekistan. He eventually landed in Turkey before being granted refugee status in Canada in 2001.

Meanwhile, in China, a court sentenced him to death in absentia for his alleged role in the anti-government political movement. His wife believes the conviction will allow the Chinese to speed up a possible execution.

Born in China's far-western Xinjiang province, Celil is a Uighur Muslim, Turkic-language minority group that has long fought with the Chinese government for greater freedom...."


Um...I'll sit tight until we get more information...from this he could be a spook just as easily as innocent.

(Who in their right mind would GO BACK anywhere near China if they had already been given the gears once -- the Chinese don't fuck around on stuff like this and rendition, like Arar, ONLY happens to people caught up in the US foreign policy drag-net, not China's)
