We, the undersigned, hereby demand an investigation of all guards and prison staff at the MapleHurst Correctional Complex handling Unit 1K.

For those currently imprisoned in Unit 1K at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex under such severe charges of terrorism which have not yet been brought to court, or have been argued, we demand:

That they be given equal privileges as all those detained at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex and must be treated with respect and dignity within the confines of the Canadian Law.

That all staff on duty be monitored to ensure proper respect, discipline and sensitivity when dealing with prisoners.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that that in a civil society such as Canada, individuals are to be considered and treated as innocent until proven guilty through a rigorous judicial process.

In addition, we would also like to remind you of Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that “No One shall be subjected to torture or to cruel inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment.” Further, article 11 states “that everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has all the guarantees necessary for his defence.” We expect that you will honor your commitments under this treaty.
