Two human rights organizations and Canada’s public broadcaster will intervene in Peel police's legal battle to keep the identities of the officers involved in the 2020 death of Mississauga father Ejaz Choudry off the public record. The officers involved in the incident were cleared by Ontario's police watchdog in 2021. The CCLA will defend the open court principle at the hearing, Rahim said, arguing that the names of the officers involved be published. In this case, the officers argued their right to safety outweighs the public’s right to open court documents. Rahim, on the other hand, argues that releasing the officers' names is in line with procedure and allows citizens to pursue “appropriate” avenues of accountability.
