Dennis Edney QC, Omar Khadr’s Canadian lawyer, will talk about Omar Khadr and Guantanamo, and the unconstitutional setting in which Omar was ‘convicted’ as a ‘war criminal’.
This process was decried as deeply flawed and unfair by UNHuman Rights experts. This case raises serious concerns about the rule of law, citizenship, and the contravention of human rights embedded in the Geneva conventions and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
