  • Abousfian Abdelrazik or Abu Sufian Abd Al-Razziq (Arabic: أبو سفيان عبدالرازق) is a Sudanese-born Canadian dual citizen. On July 23, 2006, the United States Department of the Treasury designated him as a supporter of al-Qaeda and a terrorist, but he was subsequently cleared in multiple investigations by the Sudanese government, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Following his imprisonment in Sudan, the Canadian government refused to grant him travel papers and otherwise blocked his return to Canada. On June 4, 2009, Canada's Federal Court ruled that Abdelrazik's citizenship rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms had been violated and ordered the Canadian government to facilitate his return; later that month, on June 27, he flew to Canada. Prior to his removal, he was the only living Canadian on the United Nations Security Council blacklist, usually referred to as the "1267 List" after the number of the Security Council resolution which established it. The 1267 regime imposes sanctions on listed individuals, including a complete asset freeze and a ban on international travel. Upon his return to Canada, he sued the government for C$24 million, and C$3 million more for Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon's alleged "misfeasance in public office." He also launched a constitutional challenge to legislation implementing the 1267 regime in Canada. Abdelrazik's experience has been said to be similar to other Canadians such as Maher Arar, Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad El Maati, and Muayyed Nureddin. Abdelrazik has claimed that he was tortured while in detention in Sudan, and the Canadian government has admitted in court submissions that two CSIS agents interrogated him while he was in Sudanese custody. Abdelrazik was removed from the United Nations Security Council blacklist on November 30, 2011. In April of 2018, the Government of Canada walked out of mediation talks intended to resolve Abdelrazik's lawsuit. In August of that year, a number of Canadian contemporaneous and former MPs were subpoenaed to testify about Abdelrazik’s ordeal. Most indicated willingness to testify, according to Abdelrazik’s lawyer, but Peter Harder — a former deputy minister of foreign affairs, and then the Liberal government’s representative in the Senate — invoked his legal privilege as a senator to avoid appearing in court during the parliamentary session. However, several other parliamentarians who had dealings with the Abdelrazik file, including Sen. Mobina Jaffer, Conservative MP Deepak Obhrai, Liberal MP Wayne Easter and Quebec MP Maxime Bernier — who quit the Conservative party Thursday — have signalled a willingness to testify, said Paul Champ, Abdelrazik’s lawyer.
