State Security: Mohamed Moe and Trial Someone

state security: He was being held in solitary confinement as an alleged threat to state security -- without charge, without bail, and without being provided any tangible reasons why, according to Rabble. As Kafka began his famous dystopian novel The Trial Someone must have been telling lies about Joseph K., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning. It was on December 10, 2002, when Sophie Harkat received a call at work that her husband, Mohamed Moe had been arrested on a secret hearing security certificate. That was certainly the case for Moe Harkat, an Algerian refugee who was indefinitely detained based on the word of a secret informant who failed a lie detector test, and who was never subjected to examination either in an open court or a closed session. The onus in a security certificate case is on the named individual to prove that they are not the state security threat CSIS makes them out to be. Another secret informant in the case had a particularly lustful motivation to keep coming up with allegations, because he had been carrying on an affair with an agent of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service CSIS the scandal-plagued agency that cooks up the unsubstantiated allegations in secret trial cases.
