Federal government orders inquiry into Canadians jailed in Syria: Knowledge Driven Revolution

The federal government is launching a public inquiry into the cases of three men who suffered a fate similar to Maher Arar.

Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day announced Tuesday that former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci will at the cases of Abdullah Almalki, Muayyed Nureddin and Ahmad El Maati. All three were imprisoned in Syria on suspicion of links to terrorists. El Maati was also jailed in Egypt.

Day made the announcement in response to the release of a second report by Justice Dennis O'Connor into the Arar affair.

Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian, was deported to Syria during a stopover in the U.S. and tortured into false confessions of links to al-Qaida.

In his first report on Arar, O'Connor said the cases of Almalki, Nureddin and El Maati raised "troubling questions" about the role of Canadian officials.

Day said Iacobucci will be asked to determine whether "the detention of these three individuals to Syria or Egypt resulted from actions of Canadian officials, particularly in relation to the sharing of information with foreign countries."

"The commissioner will be asked to determine whether those actions or the actions of Canadian consular officials were deficient in these cases. And third, he will be asked to determine whether any mistreatment of these three individuals in Syria or Egypt resulted from the inappropriate actions of any Canadian officials."

Iacobucci is to file his report by Jan. 31, 2008.
