| 'Terrorist' challenges detention |
| 2008-09-16 |
| A suspected Syrian terrorist who has spent seven years in mostly segregated custody in Canada is claiming that his indefinite detention without charge or trial amounts to cruelty, his lawyer said on Sunday. In a challenge filed in the Federal Court on Friday, Hassan Almrei argued that his lengthy incarceration violated his constitutional rights, Toronto lawyer Lorne Waldman told The Canadian Press. "It's been seven years and we're saying it's unconstitutional," said Waldman, speaking from Argentina. "It's cruel and inhumane treatment." |

| #1 The lawyer from Toronto is in Argentina while his client is in Canada. That Toronto lawyer must REALLY be terrified of the Conservatives winning the election! His client is slowly going mad by realizing that it's all "The Will of Allan". |
