A commission investigating Canada's role in the detention of three Arab-Canadians who say they were tortured in Syria has been so secretive that the men were denied due process, Amnesty International said on Monday.
Alex Neve, secretary general of Amnesty International's Canadian chapter, said the federal government's closed-door inquiry into torture allegations made by Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad Al-Maati and Muayyed Nureddin, cannot be considered fair or just.
"This is an inquiry that has extended secrecy to everything, not just the national security concerns. We're used to private legal proceedings when national security is at stake. But here it went too far, excluding the suspects and public from the proceedings in their entirety," said Neve from his Ottawa office.
A report on the inquiry's findings was released to the Privy Council Office, which advises the prime minister, on Monday, but it's not clear when the government will make the findings public.
