Omar Khadr

Omar Khadr is a Canadian who was detained by the U.S. military in Afghanistan at age 15, accused of involvement in armed conflict, including the death of a U.S. soldier. He was held at Guantanamo Bay for over a decade, where his treatment and legal rights became widely debated. Khadr later pleaded guilty to some charges in a plea deal and was repatriated to Canada in 2012, where he received compensation from the Canadian government. His case raised questions about juvenile detention, military justice, and the ethics of detention under combatant status.
