A lawyer for the United States government told Quebec’s highest court today that the country should be immune from prosecution for the infamous brainwashing experiments at McGill University from the 1940s to the 1960s.

The U.S. government says it cannot be sued for the project known as MK-ULTRA—allegedly funded by the Canadian government and the CIA—because foreign states had absolute immunity from lawsuits in Canada during that period.
