Court clears way for Abdelrazik torture lawsuit
The [Federal Court of Canada] has dismissed the federal government's attempt to strike out much of the lawsuit filed by Abousfian Abdelrazik.
...
Abelrazik (sic) alleges negligence on the part of Canadian Security Intelligence Service officials that resulted in his detention and caused him severe physical and mental injuries.
I would add negligence on the part of the federal government, and specifically Lawrence Cannon, who refused to lift a finger to aid Abdelrazik until the courts forced the issue. Needless to say I'll be watching this one.
Our government learned nothing from the Arar case. The reason they fear the Muslims is that they fight back, while we Canadians obey every dictate from our governments. I am happy the Court has seen fit to support this man. Maybe justice will break out in Canada???
We are to believe that CSIS has captured 4 more terrorists recently while we have more than enough evidence of their incompetence. Remember the Air India bombing? Talk about useless investigation. And it just keeps happening
