Canada expects Afghan authorities will live up to their treaty obligations when Canadian soldiers hand over prisoners to them, Prime Minister Stephen Harper says.

Harper was commenting on news that Canadian troops had arrested 10 suspected insurgents in Afghanistan earlier this week, their biggest capture yet.

Harper was asked on Friday what assurances he has that those prisoners, who are now in the hands of Afghan security officials, won't be harmed.

"They're handing them over in accord with the treaty we've signed with the government of Afghanistan, to respect all of Canada's obligations under the Geneva Conventions. We expect the Afghan government to live up to those obligations, and have every reason to believe that they will.

It was a Canadian operation and a Canadian capture. So how is Harper going to insure that these suspected terrorists can survive the black flies and mosquitoes in their shortly to become prison in the tundra?
