(Canadian Press) A Pakistani man arrested in Quebec for an alleged plot to kill Jews in New York City is being held in a detention centre hundreds of kilometres from Montreal, where he says the French-speaking guards don’t understand him.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who appeared remotely in Quebec Superior Court this morning, says he’s the only person at the provincial detention centre in Rimouski, Que., who speaks English, and he wants to be returned to a facility near Montreal.
His lawyer in Montreal, Gaétan Bourassa, says it’s difficult to communicate with his client because he’s so far away, and he’s been unable to show him court documents related to his case.
