October 17, 2007 at 6:14 PM EDT MONTREAL — A controversial Montreal imam who says he'll be tortured and killed if he is returned to his native Tunisia has been ordered deported next week. Said Jaziri appeared before an Immigration and Refugee Board hearing on Wednesday and was told he is considered a flight risk. He was arrested by Canada Border Services Agency agents earlier this week. Mr. Jaziri's refugee status was revoked in 1998 and he has been living in Canada without status. Last December he took refuge inside his Montreal mosque to avoid deportation. Immigration authorities have accused him of hiding a criminal record in France and exaggerating the risks of returning to Tunisia. -------- What do you think about that? |

| Coolness: 193370 | But you know that he lied to come in and that many honest people are waiting to come toCanada, I mean he might not be a bad guy, but would not it be unfair if he stayed.
And I might be wrong but Tunisia never looked to me like a very dangerous country (but I never went so I might be wrong). |

 Coolness: 201920 | It's all bullshit and crocodile tears. He broke the law here, and he is being punished for it. There are plenty of law abiding immigrants who have more of a right to be here. |

 Coolness: 103460 | Last year, Canada deported 12 000 people. However the backlog for deportation is 50 000 people...
Article is truncated!
"...... Remembering their own immigrant roots, most Canadians like to be generous to newcomers. But another refugee case, involving a paralysed Sikh, is beginning to test their patience. After entering Canada on a false passport in 2003, Laibar Singh applied for asylum, claiming that he would be tortured if returned to his native Punjab, where he was “falsely” accused of being a Sikh militant. His application was turned down, three times. Last year, he suffered a stroke that left him paralysed, unable to feed himself and dependent on state-provided medical care. Faced with imminent deportation, he sought sanctuary in July in a Sikh temple near Vancouver, but was arrested when he went to hospital to get treatment. Last month Stockwell Day, Canada's public-safety minister, granted him a 60-day reprieve on “humanitarian” grounds, after the Sikh community had announced plans for a big protest demonstration. It is now widely expected that Mr Singh will end up being allowed to stay in Canada. The main reason behind the refugee mess, critics say, is politics. If the Conservatives are to have a chance of forming a majority government after the next general election, they will need to pick up seats in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, where ethnic communities are concentrated. All three national political parties pander to the ethnic vote. None wants to close the back door to new immigrants. Although the polls suggest that ordinary Canadians want the abuse to end, there is no political will. As James Bissett, former head of the Canadian immigration service, says: “It might take a bomb going off here to change this system.” Update » Trey wrote on Fri Oct 26, 2007 @ 7:50pm the Sikh militant is the one that blew Air India where lots of Canadian were on it?
Large Sikh community in Vancoucer and Toronto... oh elections? Sikh... religious fanatics? why you should attend their gatherings. CBC show it on TV.. but it would be hard to find it here. |
