Our Friendly Local Terrorist by Mary Jo Leddy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is a must-read for anyone who thinks people who come to Canada to escape war and terror are treated with compassion. The CSIS rabbit hole that Suleyman Goven fell into in the late 1990s would have killed him if not for the twist of fate that brought Mary Jo Leddy into his life. Many refugees have suffered like he has in silence, and I am sure many continue to be abused by CSIS. Kudos to Leddy for her meticulous account of this injustice, and thank goodness Goven was able to survive this horrendous abuse.
