Muslim students have reported receiving surprise visits and calls from Canada's spy agency and law enforcement officials. Although the authorities claim they are looking to establish a relationship with the Muslim community, the efforts have frightened students and raised claims of racial profiling.
Criminal lawyer Nader Hasan discusses the legality of the Canadian spy agency contacting Muslim students, rights abuses in connection with anti-terrorism law and the state of civil liberties in the years after 9/11.
