CP: Khadr's lawyers to file emergency motion

[tuvor]

The lawyers of accused terrorist Omar Khadr are scheduled to appear in Federal Court on Wednesday in Ottawa to file an emergency motion.

They will ask the court to quash a decision by the federal government to ask the U.S. government to refrain from using any evidence gathered by Canadian officials in any future prosecution of Khadr, arguing the government did not give them any chance

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson announced late Tuesday that the government made its request in a diplomatic note sent to Washington earlier in the day.
