Federal Immigration: Immigration Officer

Vancouver Sun Dept: Sophie Harkat recounted the moment at an emotional news conference Friday, punctuated by hugs and sobs from her, her husband and their supporters, according to Vancouver Sun. A federal immigration officer must now assess whether Harkat faces a significant risk of torture if deported to Algeria, and whether that is outweighed by the danger he poses to Canada and when the Federal Court branded Mohamed Harkat a member of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network Thursday, he turned to his wife Sophie and said, "I am dying inside." Thursday's 186-page decision by Federal Court Judge Simon Noel means Harkat, 42, who has lived in Ottawa since September 1995, faces the prospect of being deported to his native Algeria where, he contends, he will be tortured or killed. As reported in the news.
