Omar Khadr
Omar Khadr est libre, tranche une Cour d'appelLe Devoir 07/05/2015 - Omar Khadr, l'ex-détenu canadien de la prison militaire américaine de Guantánamo, a été libéré sous caution jeudi, le gouvernement fédéral n'ayant pas réussi à empêcher sa mise en liberté sous certaines conditions. La juge Myra Bielby, de la Cour d'appel de l'Alberta, n'a pas été convaincue par les arguments d'Ottawa, qui plaidait mardi que la libération de M. Khadr constituerait une menace à la sécurité publique et nuirait aux bonnes relations du Canada avec les autres pays. Le gouvernement fédéral avait notamment soutenu que la libération  sous caution de M. Khadr violerait le traité international en vertu duquel il avait été transféré dans un pénitencier canadien en 2012. [...] « M. Khadr, vous êtes libre », a conclu la juge Bielby, jeudi matin à Edmonton. L'avocat de M. Khadr, Dennis Edney, a serré dans ses bras sa femme Patricia, qui pleurait à chaudes larmes, pendant que des partisans dans la salle d'audience saluaient bruyamment la décision de la juge. La Cour d'appel permet donc à M. Khadr de recouvrer sa liberté sous certaines conditions - notamment de porter un émetteur à la cheville, afin de suivre ses allées et venues par géolocalisation. Il devra aussi habiter chez son avocat, à Edmonton, respecter un couvre-feu, et ne pourra quitter la province sans le consentement des autorités.

Andrew Mitrovica: On C-51, 'just trust us' doesn't cut it anymoreiPolitics 01/05/2015 - Last week, Richard Fadden [Stephen Harper's national security advisor] appeared before a Senate committee examining Bill C-51, the government's so-called 'anti-terror' legislation. It was a depressing performance. He was asked about the glaring absence of a working oversight mechanism in this sweeping, ramshackle security bill. His response: Trust us. [...] Pressed by Liberal senators about the bill's lack of any reasonable level of oversight for CSIS, Fadden claimed that while he didn't have "operational control" over CSIS, he enjoys a lot of "influence" with the spy service, the prime minister and cabinet.  "If I think there is real problem, I have access to the prime minister and ministers," he said. Not done, Fadden then lectured the committee about Parliamentary rules and procedures, insisting that the Public Safety minister is ultimately responsible for "oversight" of CSIS. "I find it interesting that in this debate about oversight and review, we tend to ignore the responsibilities of ministers. I must say when I was director of CSIS, I never considered my minister to be a rubber stamp," Fadden said. So here's what we're getting by way of reassurance. C-51 looks "frightening" but it isn't really - not when viewed from Fadden's altitude in the security sphere. The security services will never use the vast new powers being granted by the bill to cross the line on Canadians' civil liberties because Richard Fadden won't let them. And besides, CSIS is beholden to the Public Safety minister - and we all know how seriously Steven Blaney takes his job. Read more - Lire plus

Canada: Prevent torture in detention centres around the world
Amnesty International - Thirty years ago, the international community agreed to ban torture and adopted the Convention against Torture. Yet in recent years, the practice remains widespread as governments justify any means to combat security threats and organized crime or simply suppress dissent. Key safeguards that would reduce and prevent the use of torture remain unimplemented.  Send a message to Canada's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Rob Nicholson, calling on him to ensure Canada fully commits to ending the use of torture around the world.
