Canadian citizen Abousfian Abdelrazik, who was detained in Sudan, sues the Canadian government for $27m over his detention. The Crown proposes closed-door hearings for the testimonies of security officials, claiming it's necessary to protect sensitive information. Abdelrazik's lawyer calls this a serious infringement of the open court principle, and the Federal Court will hear arguments early next month.
