Terrorism Plot: Amira Elghawaby and Canadian-Somali Man

terrorism plot: First, news and video footage of the heartbreaking and unjustifiable death of a mentally ill Canadian-Somali man in Ottawa as a result of a police intervention, according to Toronto Star. Then, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled that the RCMP were the key architects of a terrorism plot that was used to entrap two marginalized individuals who had recently converted to Islam. By Amira Elghawaby Wed., Aug. 17, 2016 The past few weeks have deeply shaken whatever trust exists between Canadian Muslim communities and law enforcement agencies. Both of these cases have spotlighted some troubling excesses in our country security establishments. Those who would defend the established systems would argue that these two cases represent isolated incidents, if they would acknowledge mistakes at all. They further underscore the need for Canadians to continually question the unequal power balances in our society that can and do sometimes lead to violations of the human rights and dignity of fellow community members.
