One of the three men at the centre of an inquiry into whether Canadian officials were complicit in their detention overseas says Canada "betrayed" him and hopes the findings, which will be turned over to the government today, will allow him to rebuild his life.

Former Supreme Court Justice Frank Iacobucci has been conducting a review into the cases of Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad El Maati and Muayyed Nureddin.

El Maati says he was detained and tortured in Syria and Egypt, while Almalki and Nureddin claim they were held and tortured in Syria, on what the men say were false terrorist charges.

They accuse Canadian officials of passing on incorrect information about them to their interrogators.

In an interview Monday on CTV's Canada AM, Nureddin said he wants answers into the role Canadian officials played in his ordeal.

"I think Canada betrayed me as a citizen," Nureddin said. "Because once I travelled, I travelled hoping that if anything happened to me there is Canada behind me."

Iacobucci's review began nearly two years ago and has been mired in controversy. The three men, who claim they were detained and tortured based on false terrorism allegations against them, held a news conference a year ago and complained that the inquiry was shrouded in secrecy.

"Today I don't think I'll get any answers because the report is not going to be released today," Almalki said on Canada AM. "It's going to be handed over to the government and then the government does what they want, I guess, with it."

It is unclear when the report's findings will be made public.

The review began in the wake of the Maher Arar inquiry, which found the Ottawa engineer to have been detained and tortured in Syria without grounds.

Justice Dennis O'Connor, who led that inquiry, said the RCMP passed incorrect information about Arar to American officials, who first deported him to Syria from New York's JFK airport.

Almalki, an electronics engineer from Ottawa, was on his way to visit family when he was detained at Damascus Airport in May 2002. He was released in March 2004 after 22 months in jail.

El Maati, a Toronto truck driver, was travelling to Syria for his wedding when he was detained at Damascus Airport in November 2001. He was released in January 2004.

Nureddin, a geologist, was detained at the Iraq-Syria border in December 2003 on his way back to Canada after visiting family He was released in January 2004.

All three men say they were tortured and forced to sign documents they were not allowed to read.

The men said the ordeal has ruined their lives.

The engagements of both El Maati and Nureddin ended and all three men have suffered physical and psychological trauma, which they say was a result of their imprisonment and torture.

Almalki said three of his six children and his wife had to seek psychological help after his experience, which destroyed his company and his reputation.

"Because of the 22 months of severe torture I had to endure, I'll never be the same mentally or physically," Almalki said. "My professional life, my company and my reputation has been ruined."
