04/06/2008: Bashir Maktal, A Canadian Jailed Overseas

Date: 06/05/2008
Length: 00:18:54

Bashir Makhtal is a Canadian citizen who has spent the last 16 months in a prison cell in his native Ethiopia. He has not been charged with anything. He has not seen a lawyer, or a Canadian consular official. And he was flown into Ethiopia illegally on a rendition flight very much like the one that took Maher Arar to Syria. The Current producer John Chipman prepared the documentary we aired about Mr. Makhtal's case and joined us to talk about the story.
