Timeline

1973

Born in Morocco in 1973, Charkaoui joined his sister and parents in moving to Montreal, Quebec in 1995.

1974

Adil Charkaoui (in Arabic عادل الشرقاوي born 1974) is an imam Morocco-born Canadian citizen who was arrested by the Canadian government under a security certificate in May 2003.

Before issuing the certificate, evidence was submitted that he had trained in an anti-Soviet Jihadist camp in Afghanistan.

1990

The court was also not satisfied with his reasons for visiting Pakistan for six months in 1990.

Evidence that he practiced Karate was also among the submissions.

Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) testimonies included opinions that he would also "have been trained in such areas as: operating rocket-propelled grenade-launchers, sabotage, urban and assassination."

In the late 1990s, Charkaoui associated with hard-line Montreal Muslims who had turned up in Bosnia, Afghanistan, the Sudan, and other violence-prone areas.

1992

The government later stated that he had not accounted for "a period of his life, from 1992 to the end of that decade".

1998

In 1998, he flew to Pakistan to study religion for a book he was hoping to write; the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) believes he slipped across the border into Afghanistan and attended Khalden training camp under the name Zubeir Al-Magrebi, although he denies the allegation.

According to friends, he knew Raouf Hannachi well enough that the two would "shake hands when they crossed paths".

2001

CSIS also alleged that "[i]t was noteworthy that one of those who participated in the hijacking of [the September 11 attacks in 2001] had taken martial arts training in preparation..."

and suggested that Charkaoui represented a sleeper agent.

This led to the issuance of the security certificate by the two responsible government ministers after which he was detained, and such evidence was also enough to uphold the certificate by Federal Court upon review.

From 2001 to 2003, Charkaoui operated a Montreal pizzeria, where the CSIS first approached him in the wake of 9/11.

He refused to account for his whereabouts or reason for travel to Pakistan.

Moroccan authorities stated that Charkaoui provided funds and resources to an Islamic insurgent group.

2003

Charkaoui was arrested under a security certificate in May 2003, which was co-signed by Solicitor General Wayne Easter, and Immigration Minister Denis Coderre.

He was detained without charge or trial in Rivière des prairies Detention Centre.

The Coalition Justice for Adil Charkaoui was formed in defense of his rights, with Coalition launching a campaign for his release.

2005

He was released from prison on C$50,000 bail on 18 February 2005.

His bail conditions included a curfew, electronic monitoring, designated chaperones for leaving his home, restriction to the island of Montreal, 24-hour police access to his home without warrant, and a prohibition on access to the internet, on the use of cell phones and on the use of any telephone except the one in his home.

2006

Not long after his release, Charkaoui unsuccessfully tried to help Bloc Quebecois candidate Apraham Niziblian defeat Coderre in the 2006 Canadian federal election, saying:

It's not a question of being anti-Coderre.

We are citizens before anything, we have the right to have political ideas and to have choice.

Gone is the time when the Liberals could take the ethnic vote for granted.

2009

Restrictions on his conditional release were gradually lifted to be cancelled in September 2009.

A helpful timeline of his arrest and events subsequent was produced by The Globe and Mail, on his final release order by Federal Court Judge Danièle Tremblay-Lamer: "There will be an order all conditions be revoked immediately."

2010

Charkaoui opened on 22 February 2010 a $24.5 million lawsuit against the Canadian government in Quebec Superior Court in which he demanded compensation for wrongful arrest and detention.

He sent a letter asking for an apology, Canadian citizenship and compensation for lost income and legal fees after a federal judge quashed a security certificate against him.

Past federal ministers Denis Coderre and Wayne Easter, Diane Finley and Stockwell Day were named in the suit.

2013

Charkaoui is the President of the Quebec Collective Against Islamophobia, an advocacy rights group he established in 2013.

In August 2013, Charkaoui defended the right of two foreign Islamic hate-preachers to spread their message in Montreal, even if they held sexist and misogynist views of women in society.

Citing security concerns, the event was cancelled by the convention centre where it was supposed to be held.

Charkaoui maintained that it was Islamophobia to ban their visit to Canada.

2014

He has been a Canadian citizen since July 2014.

Charkaoui graduated with an MA from Université de Montréal and is an Arabic-language teacher, who now styles himself as a sheik, and an imam.

He is married and has three children, and is a combat sport group leader, as well as a skilled backwoodsman.

He is also the director at the Centre communautaire islamique Assahaba.

2015

For a time prior to 2015, Charkaoui rented classroom space every Sunday from Collège de Maisonneuve, a Montreal Cegep near the Olympic Stadium, for Muslim education and Arabic language studies, which he calls l'École des compagnons.

Charkaoui also rented classroom space at the nearby Collège de Rosemont, also a Cegep.
