Omar Khadr
Omar Ahmed Said Khadr (Arabic: عمر أحمد سعيد خضر, romanized: ʻUmar Aḥmad Saʻīd Khiḍr; born September 19, 1986) is a Canadian who, at the age of 15, was detained by the United States at Guantanamo Bay for ten years, during which he pleaded guilty to the murder of U.S. Army Sergeant 1st Class Christopher Speer and other charges. He later appealed his conviction, claiming that he falsely pleaded guilty so that he could return to Canada where he remained in custody for three additional years.
