Khadir family vacation is saved. Maybe.

Posted By: Claude Beaulieu · 7/11/2012 3:32:00 PM

Amir Khadir's daughter, Yalda Machouf-Khadir,  was back in court today looking to get some changes to her bail conditions that would allow her to go on a summer family vacation. The Khadir family had been planning their summer vacation for months: a canoe-camping trip between mid-July and mid-August, here in Quebec.

But Amir Khadir's plans started to take on water when his daughter was arrested and charged in connection with some student strike protests. She got bail. But the problem is that one of her bail conditions requires that she observe a nightly curfew, which would have made it impossible for his daughter to join the family on its trip.

The judge who heard Machouf-Khadir's request finally granted the necessary changes.

Problem solved? Maybe not. The family patriarch, Amir Khadir, says Premier Jean Charest may finally sink his canoe trip by calling a summer election.

    No wonder there is so little respect for the justic system in Quebec. The poor dear is going to miss out on a camping trip so the Judge changes the bail conditions! And Amir Khadir's reasoning to have the bail conditions changed is so pathetic. Jean Charest must be planning an election to screw up his camping trip. No wonder they call this place Disney World North.

    She should have thought about her vacation before she committed crimes. This is complete and total BS. The conditions should not be rescinded just so she can go on vacation. What's next?? Are we gonna let Magnotta out so he can go clubbing???
    Just goes to show that even useless MNA's can call in favors. Funny how Amir can call out the government on corruption, but when it comes to saving his brat, those corrupt connections sure come in handy.
    She committed crimes and should not be exempt from justice because of what her father does.
