Federal Court of Appeal overturns order to help return men in Syrian camps
In a ruling released today, a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal says the federal government is not obligated under the law to repatriate the men.
The ruling sets aside a January decision by Federal Court Justice Henry Brown, who directed Ottawa to requestof the men as soon as reasonably possible and provide them with passports or emergency travel documents. Brown said the men were also entitled to have a representative of the federal government travel to Syria to help facilitate their release once their captors agree to hand them over.
