Omar Khadr should be released immediately from detention because the Canadian government is illegally imprisoning him as an adult for actions he committed when he was a youth, his lawyer says.
The application calling for the release of the former Guantanamo Bay detainee was filed in Alberta, where Khadr is being held in the maximum security Edmonton Institution.
“This government needs to be made accountable for its mistreatment of Omar Khadr when in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and in Canada,” his lawyer Dennis Edney said in a written statement to the Star.
