Imminent Deportation: Native Czech Republic

Doctors And Nurses Dept: From the guards to doctors and nurses at the immigration holding centre and Toronto West Detention Centre, everyone who testified at an inquest into Szamko s death this week thought the man s bizarre behaviour, including defecating on himself and ignoring instructions, was just an attempt to avoid his imminent deportation, according to The Star. On Dec. 8, 2009, Szamko became the first person to die in the GTA while being held for immigration reasons and everyone saw Jan Szamko as uncooperative. No one, it appears, believed or detected the Roma refugee s dire medical needs. Did he choose, as some suggested, simply to disregard everyone he came into contact with in his final days in Canada, far from his native Czech Republic? Or was he too sick to respond? As reported in the news.
