Amnesty International Oakville will hold a garage sale Saturday, Aug. 16 in support of its mission to free prisoner of conscience Huseyin Celil. Celil is a Canadian citizen, born in China, who is serving a life sentence in that country while his wife and four sons live in Burlington. He was arrested on a family trip to Uzbekistan in 2006 and deported to China. A native Uighur from northwest China, Celil worked on human rights for his people in the 1990s before he fled the country. He came to Canada in 2001 as a refugee from Turkey and settled in Burlington. He has four children aged six to 15 -- three of whom were born in Canada. The Chinese consider Celil to be a Chinese national and do not recognize his 2005 Canadian citizenship. He was arrested for what his family and supporters say are trumped-up terrorism charges. Celil celebrated his 45th birthday on March 1. The fundraiser runs from 8:30 a.m.noon at 2462 Hixon St., just east of Bronte Road.
