Enhanced Interrogation Techniques: Canadian Investigation

President George W Bush Dept: Alex Neve, secretary general of Amnesty's Canadian branch, stood in front of reporters with a stack of documents in hand that, he said, opened the door for a Canadian investigation into Bush's authorization for use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" from 2002 to 2009, according to Montreal Gazette. Neve supplied a legal brief, sent to the Justice Department on Sept. 21, laying out Amnesty's case against the former president and human rights watchdog Amnesty International called on the Conservative government Wednesday to investigate, arrest and prosecute former U.S. president George W. Bush for torture when he visits Canada next week. "The evidence is clear, former U.S. president George W. Bush is responsible for a wide range of human rights violations - notably torture - which constitute crimes under international law," Neve said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
