On October 3rd The Justice for Mohamed Harkat Committee staged a Visual Presentation to protest government secrecy and to inform the public about Mohamed Harkat's upcoming Supreme Court hearings (October 10, 9:00am) in which he will challenge the security certificate regime that he has lived under for more than a decade.
The presentation was held at the Human Rights monument on Elgin Street in Ottawa.

Paul Copeland is determined to hear evidence from an al-Qaeda lieutenant being held by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay
The federal government has said it will no longer rely on the evidence of waterboarded al-Qaeda lieutenant Abu Zubaydah -- but that does not end his involvement in the case of Ottawa terror suspect Mohamed Harkat.
Mr. Harkat's defence lawyer, Paul Copeland, has again petitioned the Canadian and U.S. governments to gain access to Mr. Zubaydah, who's now held in the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
The Canadian government alleges in its re-issued security certificate that Mr. Harkat "has associated" with Mr. Zubaydah since the early 1990s, but offers no evidence to support that contention.
Mr. Copeland wants to know from Mr. Zubaydah himself whether the allegation is true.

This fight is not over. The Justice for Mohamed Harkat Committee will re-double its efforts to see that justice is done for Mohamed Harkat and that the odious security certificate system of injustice is abolished once and for all.
