Khadr Family

The Khadr family is a Canadian family known for their connections to terrorism and controversies surrounding the treatment of their son, Omar Khadr. Omar, who was captured as a teenager in Afghanistan, was detained at Guantanamo Bay for allegedly killing a U.S. soldier. His family has ties to extremist groups, which has sparked debates about national security and the rights of detainees. In 2017, Omar Khadr received a significant financial settlement from the Canadian government for violations of his rights during his detention, raising further discussions about justice and accountability in counter-terrorism contexts.
