(Canadian Press) A terrorism suspect is waging a new court fight against the federal government for information he says he needs to mount a full argument against deportation to his native Egypt and possible torture.
It is just the latest twist in Mohamed Mahjoub’s two-decade legal odyssey.
The government is trying to remove Mahjoub, 60, using a national security certificate, claiming he was a high-ranking member of a terrorist organization.
Security certificates are rarely used federal tools for removing foreign nationals suspected of links to terrorist activity or espionage.
Mahjoub, married with three children, came to Canada in 1995 and attained refugee status.
