Duration: 7:33

Description:
Maher Arar is a 34-year-old wireless technology consultant. He was born in Syria and came to Canada with his family at the age of 17. He became a Canadian citizen in 1991. On Sept. 26, 2002, while in transit in New York's JFK airport when returning home from a vacation, Arar was detained by US officials and interrogated about alleged links to al-Qaeda. Twelve days later, he was chained, shackled and flown to Syria, where he was held in a tiny "grave-like" cell for ten months and ten days before he was moved to a better cell in a different prison. In Syria, he was beaten, tortured and forced to make a false confession.The Arar Commission released its official report on Maher Arar's case on September 18, 2006. Commissioner Dennis O'Connor cleared Maher of all terrorism allegations, and found that the actions of Canadian officials very likely lead to his ordeal. To read the report, please see the Arar Commission's website, www.ararcommission.caTo learn more about Arar, visit http://www.maherarar.ca/

Jan 22, 2008 - Yeah Right!, that's why he's been in office for over 7 years now, couse the american people does not share his views. The White House Fairy keeps him there, not the people. Is that it?

mcmlxvi Says:

Jan 22, 2008 - Well, istead of scremming maybe you guys should start by removing his name from the list of terrorists the INS publish to airports for people to be detained, cause as of TODAY they STILL refuse to erase his name. How's that?

thalperi Says:

Mar 20, 2008 - I can't understand why the White House is not surrounded by protestors day and night. It just doesn't make any sense that we can't start an organization of well meaning people to fund such a project. When Sacco and Vanzetti were being unjustly prosecuted by the US govt of their day, millions of people around the world protested and the streets of America were filled with outraged, sign carrying citizens. Have we become so desensitized as to condone this madness by our silence?

Mar 29, 2008 - All the money and all the apologies in the world won't make it up for what they did to this innocent man. As a Muslim I say to those who think they won`t be held accountable for that horrible injustice: just wait until you face your Creator...

Jun 24, 2008 - This man is my oncle my name is Leon Arar and I hate the people who did what they did to my oncle, if there is one thing I want to do for my oncle is to bring justice, his name was taken off the Canadien black list but not the American black list.

mimokkkk Says:

Mar 18, 2009 - This guy has a dual Syrian and Canadian citizenship who resides in Canada. He was in USA when he was captured, and then sent to Syria, so why Canada should pay him $10.5M. Why doesnt he ask his Country Syria to pay him? I do not think he will get even a cent, but the foolish Canadian government is always there to be robbed. We are the tax payers demand a recovery of the Arar stolen money. Mr. Arar, please demand your compensation from your original country Syria who as you said ruined life.

Jun 14, 2009 - GO MAHER ARAR!!!

gutosurrex Says:

Jun 25, 2009 - In which world do you live? Canada sent a list of terrorism suspects to CIA with his name. 10.5M is nothing!

HebaHosni Says:

Oct 24, 2009 - omg :(

Ic3block Says:

Dec 1, 2009 - There was no evidence that he was connected to any terrorist acts or organization, and that he was unjustly sent to another country for torture without an appeal or evidence. And as for your last breath, it would be better for you that it came sooner or then later so that hate filled backward people like you will cease the constriction of human rights

Dec 8, 2009 - You are an idiot. I'm so sick of ignorance. Learn the facts before you make an opinion. By the way, if you want to be taken seriously then learn proper grammar and how to spell.

jimbo120157 Says:

Mar 5, 2010 - Wake up! The vermin who carried out 9/11, were well respected in their communities and those who lived around them were shocked to learn what their 'neighbor' had done. Terrorist sleeper cells still exist among us, playing the part of a peaceful contributor to our society while patiently awaiting activation. I know that It's not poiitically correct to say, but we know what out enemy looks like!! If we had intelligence indicating this guy could be a threat then I say better safe than sorry.

PikPobedy Says:

Apr 27, 2010 - I just saw the news that Maher Arar is now advocating for Omar Khadr. I were him I would take my $10 million and lead a quiet life somewhere rather than getting into politics.

PikPobedy Says:

Apr 28, 2010 - He is still a Syrian citizen.

JesusACruz64 Says:

Jun 14, 2010 - I'm absolutely outraged & embarrassed on how the Government handled his case. We Americans should no longer be isolated from cases abroad. Please contact the White House to support a cause...

blaach Says:

Jun 16, 2010 - Last November, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of his lawsuit on the ground that courts have no right to interfere in these decisions of the Executive Branch. Sounds familiar to me as a German.

7711ish Says:

Jul 17, 2010 - Mr Arar. I will tell you what is happening in Canada and in the U.S.A. They are using non lethal weaponry on us all. For those of you who don't know what this is let me fill you in on C.I.A / C.S.I.S mind control technology that has been used in secrecy since the 1950's. Watch "Dr Colin Ross On C.I.A mind control" here on you tube. What he states is declassified information from that era. What they are doing today is criminal and they don't need implants to control and monitor your thoughts.

7711ish Says:

Jul 17, 2010 - I feel for you Mr Arar. I good friend of mine who was suing an insurance Co for what he believed was a premeditated attempt on his life made to look like an accidental car crash by a secret society here in Hamilton Ontario, Canada. He was subjected to this evasive (mind control) technology and he was forced to settle with them because they were also destroying his property and way of life. The authorities ignored his please for help. This country (Canada) allows the torture of it's citizens.

Dec 12, 2010 - This is my best friends uncle.......... the government really needs to learn to get their shit straight and fuck off.

iflisse Says:

Jun 26, 2011 - you have a great and courageous wife Mr Maher:her name means free man (Mazigh in berber means free man and imazighen means free men ) and she fought for your freedom,good bless her and you.

dragondisaster Says:

Apr 17, 2012 - I am sure many Americans are outraged by his treatment, but the real criminals, the America government till this day has not even uttered a single word of apology for their actions
