Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered judgment in Omar Khadr’s case.

I was at the court in the morning as a reporter for Radio News — the show we are producing each Friday for the coming weeks in my radio class.

The justices ruled that Khadr’s fundamental rights were violated with the complicity of Canadian officials, but added that the highest court in the land cannot order the federal government to repatriate him back.

The Supreme Court said foreign policy remains the prerogative of the federal cabinet.

I produced a 2-minute radio report on the judgment. I will upload it here soon.
