Abousfian Abdelrazik () is a Sudanese-born Canadian dual citizen. The Canadian federal government would not grant him travel papers and otherwise blocked his return to Canada. On July 23, 2006 the United States Department of the Treasury designating 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). On June 4, 2009, the Federal Court ruled that his Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms had been violated and ordered the Canadian government to facilitate his return. On June 27, 2009, Abdelrazik flew to Canada. He is only living Canadian on the United Nations terrorist no-fly list. Upon his return to Canada he sued the government for $24-million, and $3-million more for Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon's alleged, “misfeasance in public office.” Abousfian's situation is similar to other Canadians such as Maher Arar, who have been swept up in anti-terror dragnets post 9/11, and brings into contrast the issues of civil liberties and due process verse national security. There is evidence that he was abused by his interrogators in the Sudan.
