Feb. 12, 2009 CCPA - BC Office Fundraising dinner An Evening with Maher Arar |
Fragile Rights: The erosion of our human rights and civil liberties in the name of national security An Evening With Maher Arar, February 12, 2009 Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives ( CCPA ) - BC Office , Gala Fundraiser, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada |
 |
Maher Arar courageously fought to hold Canadian authorities accountable for their role in his “extraordinary rendition” to Syria in 2002 where he was beaten, tortured and forced to sign a false confession. |
 | On September 18, 2006, the Commissioner of the Inquiry, Justice Dennis O'Connor, cleared Arar of all terrorism allegations. Arar’s wife, Monia, has written a memoir about her fight for Maher’s release from Syria, entitled Hope And Despair: My Struggle To Free My Husband, Maher Arar, in 2008. Maher and Monia continue to advocate for the full implementation of Justice O’Connor’s recommendations. |
