Ex-terror suspect suing Canada for $27M tears up while describing detention in Sudan

Abousfian Abdelrazik says he was tortured during two periods of detention by the Sudanese intelligence agency

OTTAWA — Abousfian Abdelrazik wiped away tears as he told a court Tuesday about being imprisoned in Sudan two decades ago.

He is suing the Canadian government for $27 million, claiming officials arranged for his arbitrary imprisonment, encouraged his detention by Sudanese authorities and actively obstructed his repatriation to Canada for several years.
