Refugee Status: Fleeing To Canada

Bloody Reign Dept: Since January he's 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 Vancouver Sun. "We have a saying in Africa, 'The white men will use you, get what they want from you, and then they are done with you,'" Reeves said and cindor Reeves risked his life to help end the bloody reign of his brotherin-law, Liberian warlord Charles Taylor, but his action 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 UN-backed 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.
