Omar Khadr prison interview nixed by minister

Extraordinary political interference are what some people are calling a cabinet minister’s rejection of a request for a prison interview with former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr.

Khadr was recently transferred to a Canadian prison and will soon appeal his conviction on terrorism charges.

The warden of the prison approved a news agency request for an interview in January and normally he or she has the final word.

This request was overruled by the office of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, according to documents obtained by Canadian Press.
