His Majesty the King v. Agha
The defence of a student wrongly accused.
Saron Gebresellassi led the successful defence of a university student, bound for London Heathrow, who was wrongly accused of terrorism after an Air Canada flight was grounded at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
Allegations of this kind travel quickly, often faster than the evidence. The defence held the matter to the evidence, and it prevailed.
The presumption of innocence is tested most when an accusation is most serious. This case is a reminder of why it must hold.
This matter is described as it appears in the public record. The mandates of the Private Office are not disclosed.
