Chapter VI - Dear Huseyin

Extradition: The Search for Huseyin Celil

The team investigates how "actively engaged" the Government of Canada is on the case of Huseyin Celil. Plus, the team makes their final round of calls to the Xinjiang No. 1 Prison in a last-ditch attempt to learn anything about Huseyin's location and well-being. This time, there's a new and surprising response from the jail. Finally, host Yusuf Zine reflects on the results of this search for Huseyin - and adds his own personal letter to the piles of correspondence trying to reach him.
