Immigration And Refugee: Revolutionary United Front

Refugee Status Dept: Since January Reeves has been living under the threat of deportation. He told Postmedia News he would be applying to the Federal Court of Canada this week for leave to appeal the Immigration and Refugee Board's decision to reject his claim for refugee status, according to Calgary Herald. Taylor came to power in Liberia after a bloody civil war that left 200,000 dead. He is accused of extending his power by engaging in the blood diamond trade with the Revolutionary United Front in neighbouring Sierra Leone -a group that was known for recruiting child soldiers and forcing people to mine the diamonds that financed the decade-long civil war and cindor Reeves risked his life to help end the bloody reign of his brother-in-law, Liberian warlord Charles Taylor, but it threatens to cost him refugee status in Canada and to wrench him from his wife and children. For Reeves, it's bitter recompense for risking his life to bring Taylor before the UNbacked Special Court for Sierra Leone. Having escaped what he calls Taylor's vengeance by fleeing to Canada in 2006, he said he now feels like Canada has turned its back on him. As reported in the news.
