Canadian Government Ministry of Immigration
Tareq Rahim is married to Canadian artist Monika Mistry. Tareq is a Bangladeshi writer and blogger for human rights and secular government in Bangladesh. Two weeks ago he was hacked and shot in a brutal attack by religious extremists/terrorists who did manage to kill a publisher in the same attack. The extremists now lie in wait for Tareq to be released from hospital (next week?) at which time they will attempt to "finish the job". Bystanders, including local police, will NOT intervene to help as these murderes take machetes to their targets. We cannot allow yet another beacon of light in Bangladesh to be extinguished. We need to get Tareq on Canadian soil to join his wife immediately.
