Line 1:
A [[Syrian]] refugee, '''Hassan Almrei''' arrived in [[Canada]] in 1999.
 
He was arrested in October 2001, on suspicions of being attached to [[Al Qaeda]], after it was discovered that he had lied about time spent in [[Afghanistan]]. While in prison, he staged two hunger strikes - a 39-day fast that succeeded in ensuring minimum heat be maintained in his cell during the winter, and a 73-day fast calling for an hour of exercise per day.
