5 Canadian Muslims Detained Without Trial for last 4 years

No war Paix | 05.12.2004 22:07 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Repression | World

In Canada, five Muslim men remain detained without charge or bail on secret evidence neither they nor their lawyers are allowed to see. They have been detained under Security Certificates, signed by two federal ministers, at the request of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). They have been behind bars for periods ranging from eighteen months to over four years, denied a fair trial, and are at risk of deportation to torture and death. The Security Certificate process was recently denounced in a letter to Anne McLellan from over sixty legal experts and law unions.
