The strange, horrific case of Suaad Hagi Mohamud




A helpful timeline of events from the CBC.

Weeks later, there are still many questions about how this happened.

The Globe and Mail's piece a few weeks back keeps us focused on the greater problem. Money quote:

Commenting on Ms. Mohamud's case, the Prime Minister recently – and correctly – observed the potential difficulty in dealing with such matters when foreign governments are not co-operative. But he missed the point, since so many of the recent cases have nothing to do with the actions of foreign governments.

Rather, it is the action and policy of the Canadian government that has created the problems. Canadians should be rightly concerned with these developments. If not, the ghosts of Arar, El Maati, Almalki and Nureddin will haunt us for years to come.
