Amare Gebru: Gebru and Canadian Citizen

amare gebru: Gebru, a native of Ethiopia, has had his landed immigrant status since 2006 but isn't a Canadian citizen, according to CTV. That means a sentence greater than six months could result in deportation. Amare Gebru, 44, was found guilty in June of plotting the murder of his former business partner back in 2012. While the crown is seeking a six year sentence, Gebru's lawyer is asking for a five month and 29 day term in hopes of keeping the Ethiopian in Canada. This guy may face jail but even worse than that. According to Gebru's supporters he is considered a political rebel in his home country and could face even greater punishment if sent back. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
