Canadian government to be held accountable for its bungling on the Suaad Hagi Mohamud case

Canadian government may be sued by Canadian’s lawyer. « Scott’s DiaTribes

Mohamud’s lawyer, Lucas Naikuni, said outside of court that he plans to sue the Canadian and Kenyan governments, along with KLM Airlines, whose officials stopped Mohamud from boarding a flight home May 21. He called it a “malicious prosecution.” “This is an embarrassment, that a developed country like Canada can do this to a citizen,” he said in an interview with the Star. “We had to go to DNA testing – we had to go that far?”

We’ve heard “whispers” and innuendo in the media from government sources there was more to the story then what the media was reporting (which it must be pointed out, also was the chatter in the Maher Arar case, and led to nothing), so at the very least, if the Canadian government gets sued, and forced to defend itself, it’s going to have to put up or shut up on those “unofficial whispers”. I applaud her lawyer for intending to do this; the only way the Harper Conservative government can be held to account right now apparently is through the court system.
