Immigration And Refugee: Immigration Lawyer

Seeking Asylum Dept: Or is he just an opportunist who became an informant to avoid prosecution by an international tribunal for his own involvement in the weapons-for-diamonds trade in Sierra Leone and Liberia in the late 1990s through 2001?, according to The Star. This case raises a complex moral and legal issue, said veteran refugee and immigration lawyer Lorne Waldman. Should he be recognized for his contribution in bringing forward information to the international tribunal against the architect of the crime and is Cindor Reeves a hero who risked his life to get close to one of the world s worst tyrants so he could collect intelligence and expose his crimes against humanity? One thing is sure: Reeves is a failed refugee claimant in Canada. The Immigration and Refugee Board has prevented the Liberian from seeking asylum here because he aided and abetted the commission of crimes by dictator Charles Taylor, his brother-in-law, who ran Liberia from 1997 to 2003. As reported in the news.
