This podcast clearly defines Bill-C3 and the situation taking place here in Canada where individuals are subject to the highly controvercial "security certificate" process.

Security certificates are used to detain non-citizens on the suspicion that they are a threat the national security. The set up has been criticized as two-tiered justice, one for citizens and one for everyone else. It has also been criticized for not allowing the people held under security certificates (and their lawyer) to see (and hence challenge) much of the evidence used to detain them.

Adil Charkaoui is a perfect example of this injustice. Listen to learn more about his ongoing struggle and that of others.

Stark Raven interviews Mary Foster with the Coalition Justice For Adil Charkaoui in Montreal about Bill C3.
