Talk:Adil Charkaoui

nationality
The article says Adil Charkaoui is a Canadian. It was my understanding that everyone on a security certificate is a refugee or landed immigrant... Geo Swan 00:37, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

It is my understanding that any landed immigrant spending a prerequisite X amount of time in any country is granted citizenship- hence treated as a national of country X. Charkaoui has been in Canada for 21 years- and after 5 years, citizenship is granted- so yes, he is a Canadian citizen and hence a Canadian. JY, 1 May 2006

No, citizenship still has to be applied for, you just become eligible after the minimum number of years. Plenty of landed immigrants never apply for citizenship, and remain subject to having their landed status revoked.

Charkaoui is not a Canadian citizen, but he is a permanent resident. See www.adilinfo.org/dossier/constitutional-summary.PDF or any of the Court decisions. www.canlii.org. Permanent residents have been granted permission to stay and work in Canada indefinitely. As long as they are resident 2 out of 5 years, they can maintain their PR status. After 3 years, a PR can apply to become a citizen. Until 1991, PR was known as landed immigrant. 72.56.53.152 23:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Bias / Non-neutrality
The article is clearly biased in favor of Charkaoui and against the government's position. Nothing is cited of the government's position except ludicruous statements that Charkaoui met a sleeper agent profile by delivering pizza and being a Muslim. 72.56.53.152 23:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I've cleaned it up quite a bit. I think it's much more balanced. The links to the advocacy pages and the government website should allow those interested in either side to surf their way. I'd like to add some analysis and the court decisions when I have more time. 72.56.53.152 23:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Deportation to torture
Recent edits are an improvement in providing a balanced wiki page. But I believe that an important part of Charkaoui's story has been absent from this page: the likelihood that Charkaoui faces torture if Canada deports him to Morocco. Canada is a signatory to the Convention Against Torture, which prohibits deportation to torture.

The four other security certificate detainees claim the same fear of torture or death if deported. Mohamed Harkat faces torture if returned to Algeria. Hassan Almrei upon return to Syria. Mohammed Mahjoub and Mahmoud Jaballah upon return to Egypt. --67.70.202.114 19:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

NPOV cleanup
This article is listed on the NPOV backlog. Since the disputed text seems to have been cleaned up, and there's no discussion suggesting further disagreement, the tag is removed. If you disagree with this, please re-tag the disputed section with (or the article with  ) and post to Talk. -- Steve Hart 22:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Wrong Subject
The article says almost nothing about Adil Charkaoui. It is not even clear what he is accused of. Instead, the article is all about Canadian law. Adding stuff about alleged fear of alleged torture would only further distract form the subject. Items such as Canadian law, definition of terrorism, and torture have been covered extensively elsewhere in Wikipedia. It would have been better to clear up almost everything from the article, leaving only a small stub, than to keep this mess of distractions and obfuscations. -- 75.84.101.86 22:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not clear what he's accused of because the Canadian government refuses to say what their specific allegations against him are. 71.203.209.0 (talk) 17:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
