Challenge to Security Certificate Process

Charkaoui's constitutional challenge to the process, initiated in June 2003, was heard by the Supreme Court in June 2006. In February 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that the certificate process violated sections 7, 9 and 10 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and struck down the law (sections 33 and 77 to 85 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act).

With the support of civil society organizations and members of Parliament, Adil Charkaoui will call on Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day and Immigration Minister Diane Finley to review his file in light of Friday's revelation that a key piece of information used against him was fabricated. The 33-year old Quebecker, whose charter challenge to the security certificate process was upheld by the Supreme Court in February, hopes that he and his family will soon see an end to their four year ordeal.

Montreal, 20 April 2007 -- With Ahmed Ressam's admission that he fabricated information against Quebecker Adil Charkaoui, there is more reason than ever to question information provided by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the agency responsible for initiating security certificate proceedings.
