As soon as he was released Saturday, Canada Border Services Agency arrested and detained him, according to Montreal Gazette. Government lawyer Roberto Godoy said Mugesera needed to be watched closely and referred to media reports that said Mugesera, 59, had tried to kill himself when faced with deportation and the Canadian government reiterated its determination Monday to deport suspected Rwandan war criminal L on Mugesera after an immigration and refugee board member ruled he was a flight risk and should stay locked up until all his legal battles are done. "We are resolutely determined to deport him from the country," CBSA spokesperson St phane Mal part said Monday, following a hearing to determine whether the detention was justified.
