At 22, Omar Khadr Has Spent a Third of His Life in Guantanamo

Yesterday was the birthday of Guantanamo's child soldier and sole
Canadian citizen, Omar Khadr, who has been held in isolation since he
was 15.

On Friday, Omar Khadr, the sole Canadian citizen in Guantanamo, marked
his 22nd birthday in isolation. Seized in Afghanistan when he was just
15 years old, Omar has now spent nearly a third of his life in U.S.
custody, in conditions that ought to be shameful to the U.S.
administration responsible for holding him and to the Canadian
government that has abdicated its responsibilities toward him.
