Court: Feds Can't Deny Khadr A Passport

Posted on Saturday, June 10 at 10:36 by jensonj
"For me, to have my passport is just to feel like a full citizen," Khadr told a news conference. "To travel is a choice, is another right that I'm given in this country. Where I'm going to travel to, I don't know at this point." Khadr's lawyer, Clayton Ruby, said the case exposed the fact that it wasn't the passport office but former foreign affairs minister Bill Graham who secretly made the decision to deny Khadr a passport. "The grounds on which he made it were expressed in no Canadian law that then existed, namely national security grounds," Ruby said. "Not bad for a dictatorship, not good enough for Canada." http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2006/06/09/pf-1622980.html
