Federal Court Decision: Federal Immigration

Immigration Officer Dept: In a 186-page judgment released Thursday, Judge Simon Noel endorsed the government's view of Harkat as an active and dangerous member of the extremist network allied with al-Qaida. Harkat, 42, now faces the prospect of being deported to his native Algeria, where he contends he will be tortured or killed. A federal immigration officer must now assess whether Harkat faces a significant risk of torture if deported to Algeria, and whether that is outweighed by the danger he poses to Canada, according to Vancouver Sun and mohamed Harkat is to hold a news conference in Ottawa this morning to respond to a federal-court decision that brands him a member of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network and a threat to national security. As reported in the news.
