Families who sheltered Edward Snowden in Hong Kong ask Canada for asylum

'It's up to Canada now to do the right thing'
A statement posted on the website of "For the Refugees," a group set up to help the families, said it's critical for Canada to act quickly.
"These families, including three young and stateless children, face persecution in Hong Kong and in their home countries," the statement said.
"We are encouraged by Prime Minister Trudeau's commitment in taking a clear lead internationally in welcoming refugees," Canadian lawyer Marc-Andre Seguin said in the statement.
"It's up to Canada now to do the right thing," he said.

Assistance to genuine refugees seeking a foreign place is different from those who protect a person who has committed an offense.
