Coalition Justice for Adil Charkaoui, 8 October 2003

Montreal, 8 October 2003 - Adil Charkaoui appeared in court today for a first hearing in a case which challenges the constitutionality of security certificates.

Charkaoui's Lawyer Julius Grey, renowned expert in constitutional rights, opened his appeal with the words, "Our challenge is a battle for the conscience of Canada. The question is the point to which one can act against an individual."

Montreal, 7 October 2003 - About forty people gathered in front of the federal government offices in Montreal (Complexe Guy Favreau) to demand justice for Adil Charkaoui, who has been detained since May 2003 under a security certificate, without any accusation having been formally laid against him.

The family, friends and sympathisers all wanted to show their solidarity with Charkaoui, who will be appearing, along with renowned constitutional rights lawyer Julius Grey, tomorrow and Thursday (8 and 9 October) at the Federal Court building, to contest the constitutionality of security certificates. This court appearance is part of a case launched by the Muslim Council of Montreal (MCM).
