Addiction Issues: Street Gang

Gang Member Dept: David Matas said Thursday that Mohamed Mansaray suffered from serious addictions issues that fuelled his violent criminal past, according to CBC. In recent months, the 25-year-old African Mafia street-gang member had taken steps to deal with his drug problems, Matas said and lawyer Davis Matas says Mohamed Mansaray had taken steps to deal with his addiction issues. A Winnipeg human-rights and immigration lawyer says the federal government's decision to deport a young client with a violent criminal history is "inhumane." "The deportation is an overreaction and could have been handled by addictions treatment," Matas told News. As reported in the news.
