Abderrahmane Ghanem
Gary Caroline led the case to release a young Algerian Canadian, Abderrahmane Ghanem. Ghanem was rendered to Algeria and detained on the charge of being affiliated with a Canadian terrorist group. He was acquitted of this ludicrous allegation in June 2017 after enduring 13 months in an Algerian prison. Gary was engaged by the Ghanem family and worked to convince Canada to adopt a more aggressive stance with the Algerians. This required extensive efforts with Canadian and Algerian government officials and in the media to counter Canada’s national security service attempt to contract the prosecution of this innocent Canadian to a country with lesser standards of human and legal rights.

Russian family released from Guatemala prison seeks asylum in Canada
“A Russian family under house arrest in Guatemala on charges they say were trumped up by the Kremlin are pleading with the Canadian government to help them. Anastasia Bitkova, 27, and her parents Igor Bitkov and Irina Bitkova, are asking the Canadian government to grant them travel permits so they can make their way to Canada and claim asylum. The family, who allege they’ve been the target of a decade-long campaign of persecution by the Russian government, have been released from Guatemalan prison and placed under house arrest while they wait for that country’s highest court to decide their fate. They are accused of buying and using false documents to obtain residency.”
