OTTAWA — The federal government’s no-fly list survived another constitutional challenge as an appeal court upheld a decision that two suspected Khalistani extremists should be barred from flying because there were reasonable grounds to suspect they would commit a terrorism offence.

Writing on behalf of a unanimous panel of three judges, Federal Court of Appeal Justice David Stratas ruled Wednesday that Canadian residents Bhagat Singh Brar and Parvkar Singh Dulai, both Sikhs, had their Charter rights breached when they were added to the Secure Air Travel Act’s (SATA) no-fly list in 2018.
