Fundraising Event for the Bashir Makhtal Legal Defence Fund

[Jacaylbaro]

 

 

Bashir Makhtal lived in Toronto’s Riverdale neighborhood. He became a Canadian citizen in 1994. He worked as a senior programmer for two of Canada’s biggest banks, Bank of Montreal and CIBC. From 2002 until December 2006 Makhtal conducted business outside Canada, in countries such as Kenya, Djibouti, Somalia, Eritrea and the United Arab Emirates.

 

On December 31st, 2006, Kenyan authorities detained Makhtal while he was attempting to cross the Kenya border from Somalia. Kenya illegally rendered him to Ethiopia under extraordinary rendition laws on January 20th, 2007. Bashir has been without legal counsel and has had limited contact with Canadian authorities since his arrest.
