Ottawa denies providing false information that contributed to detention and torture of Guantanamo Bay prisoner
The federal government acknowledges in a new court filing that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the RCMP interviewed a Mauritanian man at a Guantanamo Bay prison in 2003.
“Canada denies that it engaged in unlawful conduct – whether under Canadian law, American law, or international law – in the course of any interviews with the plaintiff at Guantanamo Bay.” The statement says he was arrested on arrival in Senegal and interrogated by American officials about the same allegations Canadian authorities had pursued.
Slahi, whose story became a bestselling memoir and Hollywood film, was released from Guantanamo in 2016 and now lives in the Netherlands.“For example, his interrogators pressed him about a phone call in Montreal in which Slahi invited someone for tea and asked him to bring sugar,” the claim says. “His interrogators insisted the request for ‘sugar’ was code for ‘explosives.’ This made no sense to Slahi and was entirely untrue.
