The Supreme Court of Canada will hear the appeal of a Syrian man who has been in a Toronto jail for four years on suspicion of terrorist links.
Hassan Almrei, who faces deportation to his homeland, is challenging the constitutionality of the federal security certificate, under which a detainee can be held indefinitely without a trial.
Almrei has been held in jail since 2001.
Almrei and his lawyers have not been allowed to see much of the evidence used by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to have him arrested, nor has he been charged nor given a trial. The certificate allows the government to keep the evidence a secret against the defendant.
CSIS alleges Almrei is connected to al-Qaeda Leader Osama Bin Laden and is a threat to Canadian security.
