Richard Goldman and Canada Border Services Agency

Canada Border Services Agency: While the vast majority of people are deported to countries in Europe and the Americas, refugees who've been denied asylum continue to be sent to war-torn places like Iraq and Afghanistan as well as states with repressive regimes like North Korea and Eritrea, records provided by the Canada Border Services Agency show. , according to Hamilton Spectator. "I think this issue of deporting people to countries with atrocious human rights records is even more serious now than a few years ago," said Richard Goldman, co-ordinator of the Committee to Aid Refugees, after viewing the statistics. Canada deports more than 10,000 people every year, including some to states with "atrocious human rights records," according to newly released figures obtained by TorStar News Service. Because the citing privacy legislation does not release information about individual deportations, most Canadians only hear occasional anecdotes through the media. These figures provide a rare glimpse of the whole system that forcibly removes people from this country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
