Guled Farah and Farhia Gelle moved from Somalia to Winnipeg, Canada. They were told by Child and Family Services that they weren’t fit parents due to “broken english” and two of their children were taken from them when one had an accident and went to the hospital.

When Mrs. Gelle was pregnant with another child in 2010, CFS told her that if the baby was born in Canada and not Somalia, she too would be taken away by CFS. However, as the laws of CFS work in Manitoba. If they were to go back to Somalia simply to have a baby and resist the baby being taken away, CFS would claim abandonment of the other two children in care which would stop the couple from ever getting their children back.

The couple has been told by CFS that if they go to the media or protest, they’ll never see their children again. They’ve already gone 6 years without seeing them.

The Muslim couple interrupted an event in Winnipeg Friday to draw attention to the plight of her family. She could be heard asking “Where’s the Canadian heart?”

The couple were escorted out of the room by the police chief six minutes after the interruption began.
