Read in full on 26 October 2026 and checked against the recorded revision. It gives Arar as born in Syria in 1970 (year only), resident in Canada since 1987, with a McGill bachelor’s degree in computer engineering and a master’s in telecommunications from the Institut national de la recherche scientifique; his detention at JFK airport in September 2002, deportation to Syria, release on 5 October 2003, the O’Connor commission’s findings and his exoneration, the RCMP apology of 28 September 2006, the formal apology and C$10.5 million settlement of 26 January 2007, and the dismissal of his United States lawsuit (Second Circuit, 2 November 2009; Supreme Court declined review, 14 June 2010). It makes no statement of his religion in its text; its categories file him under “Canadian Muslims”.",
