Is Ayad Mejid a terrorist, a pedophile or a victim?

Quote:
Authorities have investigated him for terrorist connections and labelled him a pedophile and, although a court hasn't determined his guilt or innocence, he says those stigmas have already ruined his life.

If Canada's spy service is correct, Mejid, a 45-year-old Muslim leader and Brampton father of three, once lived a double life as Abu Banan, an online Islamist propagandist preaching hatred against the West.

Interesting. Blake's 7 for real? Of course, nothing in the story precludes him being guilty either, but you have to wonder.

I would not be surprised. CSIS routinely targets immigrants for information on their community, or for espionage against their native countries. Those who refuse, pay a price.

This stood out for me:

Quote:
Whatever the outcome of the preliminary hearing, the province's Ministry of the Attorney General has imposed a perplexing policy to keep secret the details of this case. While a publication ban on pre-trial hearings is customary in criminal cases, the ban regulates what can be reported, but should not prohibit access to court documents. But a Star reporter was repeatedly denied requests to read the publication ban and the rest of the case file.

Very odd that the reporter is not even allowed to see the publication ban.
