Toure: Immigration and Ebrahim Toure

toure: Activists for the End Immigration Detention Network and supporters of Ebrahim Toure at Ontario Court of Appeal Osgoode Hall hearing with 1,915 tulips, one for every day he has been indefinitely detained, according to Toronto Star. Lawyers for Ebrahim Toure, Canada's longest serving immigration detainee 5 years are in Ontario's Court of Appeal Wednesday to appeal last fall's Superior Court decision that the government still had a right to detain Toure, who was profiled in our 2017 investigation into Canada's immigration detention system. The judge based his decision in large part on what federal immigration authorities described as a pending interview with Gambian officials, which O'Marra said could conceivably lead to a breakthrough in the case and Toure's removal. Meanwhile, the CBSA appears no closer to deporting the failed refugee claimant.
