（维权网信息员王文元报道）昨天，因组织2月28日长安街游行而被抓的艺术家吴玉仁加拿大籍妻子凯琳·派特森收到加拿大总理办公室回信，以总理斯蒂芬·哈珀的名义对吴玉仁事件表示关切。并将情况提交给了加拿大外长劳伦斯·加农。对此，凯琳表示，给总理信一般要排队几个月才能有答复，她两天后就获得积极反馈，很高兴。

前卡尔加里籍女士凯琳·派特森的丈夫吴玉仁被关押在中国监狱
2010年7月12日
外交部长斯蒂芬·哈珀
渥太华，安大略省
总理哈珀
我的丈夫和这位年轻人（吴玉仁）的岳父，戈登·派特森多年前是麦吉尔大学的同学。最近我们为他在Tofino举办了80寿诞。他的女儿，凯琳·派特森（吴的太太）从中国回来为她的父亲庆祝生日。当吴和凯琳·派特森结婚的时候，我们参加了他们在卡尔加里举办的酒会。
从那时起，我们就对这对夫妻回到中国后从事的艺术活动给予了很大的关注。吴玉仁的情况，您可以从附件里的卡尔加里先驱报报道中获知。
他曾经是卡尔加里大学的访问艺术家，也曾在阿尔伯塔艺术和设计学院做讲座。
我们非常担心他的安全。我们都很清楚，那些在中国立志从事公民活动的人们，在这样的情况下可能遭遇什么。我们恳请您的政府能就吴玉仁一事尽快斡旋。这个年轻人不是一个罪犯——他是一位丈夫，一位父亲，一个儿子，一位艺术家。请救救他。
如果您能告知我们将采取那些步骤迎接他，我们会非常感谢。
真诚的，
John and Rosemary Baxter夫妇以及家人

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Baxter:
On behalf of the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, I would like
to acknowledge receipt of your e-mail regarding the arrest and
detention of Mr. Wu Yuren in China.
Please be assured that your comments have been carefully
reviewed. I have taken the liberty of forwarding your message to the
Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, for his
information and consideration.
Thank you for writing to the Prime Minister.

Subject : URGENT PLEA FOR HELP,
Wu Yuren, husband of former Calgarian Karen Patterson, is being
held in a Chinese prison
July 12, 2010
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Harper.
My husband and this young man's father-in-law, Gordon Patterson,
went to McGill together years ago and we recently celebrated his 80th birthday with him in Tofino. His daughter Karen (Wu's wife)
came back from China to be with her dad for this event.When
Wu married Karen Patterson we attended their reception in Calgary, and since
then have taken great joy in following their artistic lives
since moving back to live in China. Wu himself, as you'll see in the Calgary
Herald article
below, has been a visiting artist at the University of Calgary
and given lectures at the Alberta College of Art and Design.
We're all fearful for his safety right now since we're all well
aware of what happens to social activists, or those deemed to be activists, in China. We're calling on your government to quickly
intercede on his behalf. This young man is not a criminal -
he's a husband, father, son, and an artist. Please help him.
We'd appreciate hearing what steps you will take to arrange his
freedom.
Sincerely,
John and Rosemary Baxter and family
