难道说他给Happer搽屁股?2008 inquiry found the actions of Canadian officials contributed indirectly to the torture of three men
The Liberal government has paid a total of close to $31.3 million in settlements to three Canadian men wrongfully accused of links to terrorism and tortured in Syria— 15 years and two federal inquiries after their detentions, sources confirmed to CBC News.
Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad El Maati and Muayyed Nureddin will split $31.25 million, but it's not clear from officials how much each man received.
In March, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a statement saying the government had reached a settlement with the three men and apologized.
The amount of compensation going to three men was first reported by Le Devoir.
Philip Tunley, the lawyer for Almalki, El Maati and Nureddin, refused to comment on the story.
El Maati, a former truck driver from Toronto, was arrested in November 2001 after he flew to Syria to celebrate his wedding. He was later transferred to Egypt, spending a total of 26 months in prison.
Almalki, an electronics engineer in Ottawa, was detained in Syria in 2002 and held for 22 months.
Nureddin, a Toronto geologist, was detained by Syrian officials in December 2003 as he crossed the border from Iraq, where he was visiting family. He was held for 34 days in Syria in late 2003 and early 2004.
'Their lives got destroyed'
All three said they were imprisoned, tortured, accused of links to al-Qaeda and told by their interrogators that information about them had come from the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The men have denied any links to al-Qaeda.
A 2008 federal inquiry found the actions of Canadian officials contributed indirectly to the torture of three men.
"They caused the torture to happen, they caused the detention to happen," Almalki he told CBC's The Fifth Estate in June 2016. "They caused huge losses in my business. My brothers, their lives got destroyed. My kids, their lives got destroyed."
The men had each filed a $100-million lawsuit against the government 10 years ago, but put their requests on hold ahead of the inquiry by Supreme Court Justice Frank Iacobucci.
Canadian co-operation
Their lawyers eventually won a lengthy court battle against the RCMP and CSIS to gain access to thousands of heavily redacted files, amounting to hundreds of thousands of pages.
CBC News obtained exclusive access to some 18,000 pages, which showed Canadian law enforcement officials not only knew three Canadians were being tortured in Syrian jails in a post-9/11 crackdown, but also co-operated with Syrian officials in their interrogations.
The files also show that a Canadian ambassador helped to deliver questions the RCMP and CSIS wanted put to the Canadians imprisoned in Syria, a country with a dismal human rights record.
"I was shocked that my country, which was supposed to work for my safety, let me end up in the torture chamber," Nureddin told The Fifth Estate last year.
"My reputation has been damaged."
Maher Arar, another Canadian arrested and tortured in Syria, received an apology and a $10.5-million settlement from the federal government in 2007.

既然这样,那你也争取与他们一样的经历,好最后有证据能让政府赔偿你不就能得到安慰了在土豆治下,干木教恐怖分子是个很赚钱的行当
既然这样,那你也争取与他们一样的经历,好最后有证据能让政府赔偿你不就能得到安慰了
说起政府保护自己的公民,你应该查查那几个在马来西亚(?)被木教恐怖分子绑架最后杀掉的加拿大平民,土豆为什么不花半个一千万或者派几个特种兵把他们救回来.村长你这转发没用的,他们相信alternative facts
政府不但不能保护自己的公民,甚至帮助了别人迫害自己的公民。如果这样的行为不赔偿,那政府以后就更可以忽略自己的公民了。
很多case如果政府不和解的话,最高法院会判赔偿更多
在海内外政府眼里,海外华人只有唐人街是正统,其他华人归化中......老中只怕排华,只要允许唐人街的存在,华人社会就会兴旺。政府右嘛,就辛苦点避税,执政党左嘛,就吃福利大锅饭。
