High court won’t hear challenge of secrecy provisions in terror case
Source: Canadian Press - 4-apr-08
OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada, for the second time in a year, has turned down an effort by accused terrorist Momin Khawaja to derail his prosecution on constitutional grounds. In a ruling released without comment Thursday, the court refused to hear Khawaja’s challenge to federal legislation designed to safeguard secret intelligence.
At issue was a portion of the Canada Evidence Act, under which the government can refuse to disclose sensitive information to an accused person on national security grounds.
Parody of Justice: Toronto 18 Suspects undergo Trial by Media

Feels like June 2nd all over again
The trial of the only remaining youth in the Toronto 18 case commenced last week in a Brampton courtroom. The new details disclosed in the Crown factum filed in the case elicited depressingly new emotional lows in all of the accused and their families. Reminiscent of that fateful day in June, 2006, the media sensationalism started all over again, with the reporting of incomplete evidence and outrageous headlines. Having attended the entire preliminary hearing, I must confess my shock and disbelief at the fact that these allegations continue to be presented in a manner which precludes the public from seeing a complete or accurate picture.
