The UN Committee aganst Torture ruled that Canada violated the Convention against Torture in deporting Sogi Singh on 2 July 2006. Sogi was deported from Canada as a suspected threat to "national security" on the basis of secret information under section 86 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. He was released from prison in India for lack of evidence : the secret "evidence" on which Canada deported him apparently wasn't very convincing.

The UN concluded that Canada violated sections 3 and 22 of the CAT with the
deportation of Sogi.  The decision is here.

MONTREAL - The lawyer for accused Basque terror suspect Ivan Apaolaza Sancho says there is not enough evidence to link his client to a terrorist group and that he should be allowed to remain in Canada.

Sancho is seeking refugee status in Canada based on claims he will be tortured if returned to Spain.

Following an Immigration and Refugee Board admissibility review on Wednesday, lawyer William Sloan said he will submit a "non-suit" motion stating that the evidence presented by the Canadian government is insufficient to tie his client to terrorist activities.

"There's no evidence at all, all there is are accusations," Sloan said outside the hearing room, adding he hasn't been able to see any evidence provided by Spain.
