Hassan Almrei Granted Bail

Kept in solitary confinement for close to seven years, Hassan Almrei, the last member of Canada’s Secret Trail Five, has now been granted bail.

Judge Richard G. Mosely in his decision said he was “…satisfied that any risk that (Almrei) might pose to national security or of absconding can be neutralized by conditions.”

Almrei has been fighting deportation to Syria. It has been determined by human rights groups and Canadian courts that if sent to Syria he will be tortured. Canadian governments have repeatedly signed international conventions against deporting individuals to torture.
