Canada Immigration and Michael Mvogo

Michael Mvogo: This opinion was in response to demands that Canada immediately free Michael Mvogo , a man who has been imprisoned in Ontario for eight years because of immigration violations. The Toronto Star reports that officials cannot determine who Mvogo is, where he comes from or how to deport him, according to Rabble. However, the Canadian government is not bound to the opinion released by the United Nation High Commissioner for Human Right Working Group on Arbitrary detentions and Canada immigration detention system is under fire after a United Nations human rights monitoring body released its first opinion stating "detention should be the last resort and permissible only for the shortest period of time." The UN stated in their opinion that Canada official policy of indefinite incarnation is a human rights violation and urged Canada to adopt the 90-day limit on detentions that is common among numerous other nations. Activist group Ending Immigration Detention states "Now, the UN has spoken out in support. The tide on immigration detention is turning" and continues to push to change Canada immigration detention policy. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
