Indeed. Are you suggesting that we should have Afghan-style prisons in Canada (not suggesting this is what you are saying, but I'm not sure I understand your point)?

“We are not criminal,” Shafia said, in a loud and clear voice. He spoke in his native Dari and his words were interpreted. “We are not murderers. We didn’t commit the murder and this is unjust.”
Yahya also said the decision was unjust.
“I’m not a murderer and I’m a mother,” she said.
“Sir, I did not drown my sisters anywhere,” Hamed said in English.


The defence theory at trial was that the children had stolen the family car and taken it out on a joyride, where they accidentally drove the car into the canal. They deny committing the acts. They have never said "yes, we killed them but they deserved it." That was the Crown's theory.
