Supreme Court of Canada unanimously overturns security certificates

Submitted by Khalid on Sat, 2007/02/24 - 11:07

The Supreme court of Canada in a 9-0 decision, has overturned the current system of security certificates.

Under the security certificates, non-citizens can be held without charge indefinitely based on secret evidence that they cannot see, nor can their lawyers defend them against these secret charges.

This is more in line with Canadian values for sure.
