Maher will stay on the no-fly list because to take him off would place U.S. peeps who signed him over to Syria would be up for litigation for their crimes. No other reason.

Harper will comply with a Federal Court order to allow the return of Abousfian Abdelrazik, who has been stranded in Sudan for six years after being labelled an al-Qaeda suspect. The Harper gov ran out of options and Judge Zinn has ordered Abousfian to be in front of him in July. No doubt he will be lawyered up as soon as he returns as well. Canada deserves their folly for allowing themselves to be told what to do by the U.S.
This previously unreleased document describes a demarche by the US Government on the orders of the White House to the Government of Canada, concerning the wish to have Abousfian Abdelrazik, a man wrongly accused of terrorism, prosecuted in the USA.
The U.S. pressured Canada to keep him out of the country.
The document was obtained by Professor Amir Attaran of the University of Ottawa.
