Huseyin Celil

The following is believed to be from Canadian citizen Huseyin Celil who is imprisoned somewhere in China.

The Chinese government believes it is a Chinese matter and has not allowed Canadian diplomats access to Celil in accordance with international law.

As with so many Canadians imprisoned under questionable or illegal circumstances, the government has done very little.

Best Greetings of God over you
From Huseyin Celil

My Lovely, gracious mother, how are you doing?

I caused you tremendous suffer and pain.

You spent whole of your life with my suffer.

As a your child I only beg your pardon and pray for me.

I missed you very very much.

If they allow, if your financial situation permits, I would be feel like myself in heaven with your one more visit along with my two children.

Last time I was blessed seeing my sister when she visited me.

I missed my mother and two son from the bottom of my heart.

I really want to see them one more time.

I wrote twice to you but received no reply so far.

Maybe you did not get my letters or the letter you send did not reach me.

I can figure out the reason. How about my all relatives? Are they fine?

How about my son Abdusemi, Abdugheni and Esma?

How about my lovely wife Kamila and my children in Canada? (naming his all children one by one).

Were you able to continue to contact with my wife Kamila and my children in Canada?

How are they doing?

What is my wife Kamila saying on my bad luck?

Please ask Kamila, let her continue to do something for me in Canada.

I am now loosing my all hopes of returning back to my country and see my wife and children.

I can not sleep by thinking my old handicapped son.

Because I am in Prison now I am not aware of any thing about outside world.

My days are passing with hoping of a miracle that can save me from this place and gives me
chance of hugging my wife and children in Canada.

I am worrying for my children all days scratching my head as a hopeless and helpless person.

When I met with my sister last time she mentioned me in brief that Kamila would be coming to see me?

Any thing new about this?

Please if you know any thing let me know with any possible ways.

Dear Mother, you are getting old.

Please take care of yourself well, even though this is an empty wish, Please rest well.

Do not cry for me too much. I could not stand this unjust world.

I am supposed to serve you as your son, I am supposed to help you under your knees all day and night, but now you are helping my son and taking care of them for me.

You have raised my two children as you did all my brothers and sisters.

This is painful. This is indigestible.

Dear my sisters and brothers, Please take care of my mother well.

Every thing can be found, not father and mother.

We have only one mother who are precious for all of us.

Think of me for a second, now I can do every thing to be able to see the face of my mother, I am thinking all day and night to serve her for a second, but I can not.

Therefore you should know the value of our mother when she is alive and take this golden opportunity to serve her.

Please send my heartfelt greetings to my wife Kamila if you have a chance to talk with her on phone.

Dear Kamila, if possible please contact with the Embassy personal in Beijing and let them know my situation.

So far nearly two years I have not seen any one from Canada.

I am citizen of Canada and I belong to this great country.

If I am in jail know it is just because I got a bad luck.

Otherwise I have not done any thing wrong in my whole life.

I really want to talk with some one from our Embassy in Beijing, I would like to tell them that I am absolutely innocent person.

I want them to know my story.

Why they are not coming to see me?

I want them to ask for me why I am in jail for so long?

What went wrong?

What is the reason?

I want to know all of these.

I could not find any one here to listen me. But our Embassy personal can ask these questions on my behalf.

I am always dreaming of Mehmet Salih and my wife Kamila.

I can not pass any single minute without thinking them.

So many things presses me all the time.

In one hand my children in Kashgar grown up without seeing my fatherhood.

Another hand my children in Canada living without knowing what has happened to their
father.

Also my mother is suffering and crying for me all day and night.

Worst thing is I can not do any thing for my mother, children, wife and relatives except pray
in my heart.

I pray my mother all the time.

She has raised my children without me since years.

I can not pay it back in my whole life.

When I was about to be a person who can do some thing for my children and family, I ended up in jail for nothing.

Please pray for me. That is the only thing that I can ask from you.

I can feel from the bottom of my heart that you came to Urumqi many many times and spent days and night for the hope to see me, visit me.

I am grateful, I am thankful for the hardship you have experienced in cold and hot, snow and rain.

I know you are doing it. I know the thin heart of my mother and my children and all
of my relatives.

I hope my paper is enough to pour ( I think it meant to express) my heart.

I would like to put each and every name of my relatives on this paper and send my greetings from my heart.

He names all of his relatives one by one.

Dear mother, Please forgive me if I have done any thing wrong to you in my life.

Please forgive me if I even have spoken loudly in front of you.

It is only God who can help me to meet with all of you.

Respectfully
Huseyin Celil
