"High court agrees to consider Khadr's unfair treatment claim"

ADVERTISEMENTS

"High court agrees to consider Khadr's unfair treatment claim": The Canadian Press provides a report that begins, "The federal government has failed to block the country's top court from considering whether U.S. authorities are violating international law in their treatment of accused Canadian terrorist Omar Khadr. In a ruling released Thursday, the Supreme Court of Canada gave the go-ahead for Khadr's lawyers to raise the legality of his detention and forthcoming trial at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo, Cuba."

CBC News reports that "Canada's top court agrees to hear Khadr's unfair treatment claim; Ottawa tried to block defence from presenting fresh evidence."

The Toronto Globe and Mail reports today that "Khadr came within seconds of death in firefight; 'Someone had a conscience,' lawyer remarks after U.S. soldier's diary describes having Canadian teen in the crosshairs."

The Toronto Star reports today that "Officer's diary says Khadr not only survivor; Guantanamo court documents state second fighter was alive when U.S. forces arrested Toronto teen."

The Canadian Press reports that "U.S. officer says he nearly ordered execution of Khadr in Afghanistan."

Canwest News Service reports that "Court documents show Khadr faced execution on Afghan battlefield."

Earlier this week, Carol Rosenberg of The Miami Herald had an article headlined "Gitmo captive: I was threatened with rape."

And Reuters reports that "Canadian says U.S. interrogators threatened rape."
