'You wonder what the government is trying to hide'

Civil rights advocates are calling on the government to withdraw its attempt to quash a human rights tribunal probe into whether the RCMP engaged in racial profiling when Mounties raided the home of an Ottawa man — saying the secrecy surrounding the case only makes them wonder what the police want to keep hidden from the public.

“I think the more they hide behind secrecy, it gives the impression that there is something wrong,” said Monia Mazigh, an academic, author and human rights advocate who campaigned to secure the release of her husband, Maher Arar, after he was tortured in Syria in 2002.
