I was really privileged to meet Dr. Monia Mazigh on Friday. She's a truly formidable woman. Her husband, Maher Arar, was falsely accused of being a terrorist and deported to Syria, where he was held for over a year and tortured. Monia Mazigh fought the slowly grinding wheels of government for every single one of those days. Once she won his release, she forced the Martin government to launch an inquiry into the government's handling of the case.
