Mam Frances Maqueen pass away "Good bye mama"وفاة فرانسيس ماكويين

  
Frances MacQueen is the coordinator of the Vancouver Association for Survivors of Torture (VAST), a non-profit organization founded in 1986. VAST is a community of concern to encourage and promote the well being of people who have survived torture and political violence and support their families. MacQueen was one of a group of people active with Amnesty International in the mid-1980's, who saw the pressing need for an organization to provide direct counseling and services to the victims of torture.
Frances Macqueen is one of the people who tries to heal survivors of trauma--people who escape to Canada from far away conflicts... 
 Mam Frances Maqueen
Why did you have to go and die?
I don't want to have to say goodbye.
God must have thought you were special to take you away,
but couldn't he have waited for another day?
God’s looking after you now,
High, high up in the sky.
Up there where all the angels lie.
You wouldn't have wanted me to make a fuss,
After all, you're still down here with all of us.
Just because I can't see you, doesn't mean you’re not here.
I know you are somewhere very, very near.
I love you so much but it time to say:
Goodbye My Friend
Because your life here on earth has come to an end.
Rest in Peace
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH .I FEEL MY LIFE EMPTY WITHOUT YOU ,REST IN PEACE

{. Michael's, he said, was "the one place that accepted me -- one and a half hour's time before I was supposed to be in the airport."Smith's concerns regarding the federal immigration authorities' handling of Kazemian's case have been fueled by the claims of the Vancouver Association for Survivors of Torture (VAST), an organization which has aided Kazemian for the past several years."According to a recent Human Rights Watch report," read a recent VAST statement, "the Iranian government has intensified its campaign of torture, arbitrary arrests and detentions against political critics.
"Kazemian, said VAST, "arrived in Canada in 1998, and was refused refugee status. His mother, however, who arrived in Canada later, was accepted as a refugee -- having brought with her more evidence of the family's persecution.
 " Unfortunately, "under Canada's new immigration law, appeals of negative refugee decisions based on the merits of the case are not permitted.""His mother has met the requirements for refugee status on identical grounds -- so clearly, Mr. Kazemian should be allowed to remain in Canada as well," said VAST coordinator Frances MacQueen. "I know that if he is forcibly returned, no one will be able to protect him from the Iranian government.
"She added: "Our Canadian refugee system, which is designed to protect such people, has failed him . . . We have seen first-hand the devastating effects of torture on the lives of our program participants. Consequently, we are tremendously disturbed by the failure of the Liberal government and the refugee system to protect Mr. Kazemian from the human rights abuses that await him at the hands of the Iranian authorities.
"MacQueen said that VAST was still waiting to hear from Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan, who is also the federal minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. A representative of the minister, she said, "promised to get back to us with an answer before the deportation deadline. We have still not heard a word from McLellan's office." VAST, she said, is hoping that McLellan will order a stay of deportation. "We are also asking the authorities to respect the historical inviolability of church sanctuary."
