Canadian Syrian Council Spokesperson: Faisal Alazem

Family Members Dept: Concordia University student Kinda Masri said she can barely reach her family in the coastal Syrian town of Latakia by phone. She said she wants to bring her family to Montreal, her efforts so far have been in vain, according to CBC. Canadian Syrian Council spokesperson Faisal Alazem said most Syrians who have immigrated to Canada are living in a constant state of anxiety and struggle to stay in contact with their family members and canadians of Syrian origin say they are struggling to bring family members to Canada because of the violence in their home country. "I don't want to see any people that I know because -- it happened to me once, I read the name of my friend who had been captured by security, forces, and after 12 days he was delivered to his family as a dead body," said Masri.
