I can't believe we live in a country that allows rapers, murderers, and child porn producers out of jail & into communities after a couple of years; we hold people from impoverished countries in our jails without charge. Canada has now violated the Geneva Conventions, and by default, no longer abide by this International Treaty. What happened?
Mohamed Harkat was indefinitely jailed more than three years ago on suspicion of being a foreign terrorist. His current conditions are less than ideal, but at least in the general population of his maximum security unit, he has company. The construction of the new facility in Bath, due for completion on March 31, will hold Security Certificates in isolation.
He still remains detained without charges. This transfer will simply replace one set of unacceptable circumstances for another. He will be 3 hours away from his family.
Since he hasn't been charged with anything, his lawyer thinks he should be allowed out on bail, at the very least.
This is shocking that the four Arab nationals are going to be placed behind the bars of maximum-security Millhaven even though they haven't been charged with a criminal offence and the basis of the Security Certificate has not been challenged. We have been criticized by the United Nations Committee on Arbitrary Detention for the length detentions to which the four men have been subjected to.
World on fire....More than one person can handle....
