We are also asking this question on behalf of our own soldiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1319097\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> recently acknowledged that the success of the Afghan mission cannot be guaranteed by military means. Respecting human rights is always imperative. However, by transferring prisoners who are at risk of being tortured, Canada is in violation of section 12 of the Geneva convention.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1319098\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> remain consistent with his recent statements and immediately halt the transfer of detainees to Afghan authorities? </p>",
