Canada Border Services Agency: Immigration

Douglas Cannon Dept: But at a rushed hearing Thursday afternoon, CBSA said its thali expert couldn’t confirm the necklace was the type given to LTTE members. The border agency argued for the woman to remain in custody anyway, describing her as a flight risk, but she was ordered released on a $1,000 bond, according to Globe And Mail. “Not only was no evidence led at any time that even if she was inadmissible that her detention was necessary, but at no time did CBSA fairly disclose what the basis was to their suspicions,” he said and earlier this week, the woman was ordered to spend another month in custody while Canada Border Services Agency investigated her necklace with a pendant – called a thali . CBSA said it believed the thali was the kind given to members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a terrorist organization banned in Canada. CBSA said its investigation would take up to two months. Douglas Cannon, the woman’s lawyer, repeatedly blasted the government’s lack of disclosure in the case. He said much the same after the latest ruling. As reported in the news.
