A&C: Arar v. Ashcroft

Saturday, December 13, 2008

Second Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument in Arar v. Ashcroft. The case stems from the Sept. 2002 detention of Maher Arar, a Syrian-born, Canadian citizen during a layover at the J.F.K. Airport in New York City. Arar is challenging his rendition by the U.S. government to Syria, where he alleges he was tortured and released after one year without being charged. The argument was heard in an en banc session, meaning all 12 appeals judges heard the case.
