Leon Mugesera: Deportation Orders

Montreal Gazette Dept: "Deportation orders are not automatic expulsions," noted former justice minister and Liberal MP Irwin Cotler. "The government has to listen not only to the courts' decision on removal orders, but also to its dictates as far as the standards for deportation, including the prohibition on deporting to torture or terror.", according to Montreal Gazette. "Delays are not unusual for complicated and high-profile cases, especially where another government is involved, because if it acts incorrectly Canada could be in breach of its own laws or of international laws," said Vancouver-based immigration lawyer Zool Suleman and even though Leon Mugesera's deportation order was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada five years ago, appeal processes in cases like this can go on for years. Mugesera's case is not isolated and other alleged war criminals have eluded deportation for much longer than him. Among them is Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad, a convicted terrorist who hijacked a plane. He has been thwarting his expulsion since 1988. As reported in the news.
