A judge of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta has approved the release of
Omar Khadr on bail, although the precise conditions of release have not yet been set. A copy of the judgment in
Khadr v. Bowden Institution 2015 ABQB 261 can be found
here. According to
this news account, the government will appeal. Khadr was convicted by a U.S military commission on charges of having killed a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan in 2002. His case remains under review by the U.S. Court of Military Commission Review. In the mean time he has been transferred to Canada for incarceration.
