The US is holding a nine year old Canadian citizen without charges in a ‘Detention Center’ in a legal limbo.

Call it international limbo. Detained by U.S. Customs officials after their flight to Toronto made an unscheduled stop on American soil nearly four weeks ago, Kevin and his Iranian parents, Majid and Masomeh, feel they are being held hostage not only by the physical parameters of Hutto, but by the politics of nationality.

“We can’t go home because I am Canadian but my parents are not,” Kevin said in a telephone interview with The Globe and Mail.

Here is a DemocracyNow interview and here is a CBC interview with Kevin and his dad (MP3 File).
