Maher Arar's wife to announce NDP candidacy Last Updated Tue, 09 Mar 2004 20:03:11 OTTAWA - Monia Mazigh, an Ottawa woman who led a year-long campaign to have her husband released from a Syrian prison, is expected to announce Wednesday she will run for the New Democratic Party in the next federal election. Mazigh is married to Maher Arar, the Canadian who was deported to Syria by U.S. officials on suspicion of being connected to al-Qaeda. INDEPTH: Maher Arar NDP Leader Jack Layton, MP and former party leader Alexa McDonough and Mazigh will attend the announcement Wednesday in Ottawa, according to an NDP news release. Last month, Layton cancelled a planned news conference to announce Mazigh's candidacy because she had not decided if she would run. Monia Mazigh (CP file photo) McDonough said at the time that Mazigh would be a welcome addition to the party. "She's shown herself to be of incredible leadership quality, she's been an incredible advocate for human rights and civil liberties and, yes, I absolutely was proud to approach her to ask if she might give this consideration." Mazigh has a PhD in financial economics but no political experience. She lives with her husband and two children on the Ottawa suburb of Nepean. The federal government is preparing to launch a judicial inquiry into her husband's case. Written by CBC News Online staff cbc.ca
