CAIR-CAN Issues Action Alert About Unfair Extradition Proceedings

The Council on American-Islamic Relations Canada (CAIR-CAN) issued an action alert today urging all Canadians to contact the Minister of Justice, Mr. Robert Nicholson, and demand that he stop the use of unsourced intelligence in Dr. Diab's case.

“French authorities, by their own admission, are relying upon the use of unsourced “secret” intelligence to back-up their extradition request. Unsourced intelligence refers to information, the origin of which is unverified. The reliability and veracity of unsourced intelligence is virtually untestable.

CAIR-CAN is urging constituents and supporters to speak out against the unjust extradition proceedings against Dr. Diab.”
