| 2010-01-29 | Judgment on the appeal rendered, CJ Bi LeB De F Abe Cha Ro Cro, The appeal from the judgment of the Federal Court of Appeal, Number A-208-09, 2009 FCA 246, dated August 14, 2009, heard on November 13, 2009, is allowed in part with costs to the respondent. The application for judicial review of the government’s decision and policy not to seek the repatriation of the respondent is allowed in part. This Court declares that through the conduct of Canadian officials in the course of interrogations in 2003 and 2004, as established on the evidence, Canada actively participated in a process contrary to its international human rights obligations and contributed to the respondent’s ongoing detention so as to deprive him of his right to liberty and security of the person guaranteed by s. 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, contrary to the principles of fundamental justice. Allowed in part, with costs |
