Federal Officials: Superior Court Order

IRB Dept: The IRB ruling also puts an end to fears among federal officials and some in the Rwandan community that Mr. Mugesera might flee or seek church sanctuary if he loses the next key hearing on Friday, according to Globe and Mail. Mr. Mugesera was reported to have intentionally overdosed on medication and for the first time Monday, federal officials publicly stated Ottawa would abide by a Superior Court order putting a hold on Mr. Mugesera's deportation so it could consider whether Ottawa is legally bound to allow the UN to assess the risk that Mr. Mugesera might be tortured. On Monday, IRB adjudicator Dianne Tordorf found Mr. Mugesera is a flight risk after he refused to answer questions about the mysterious illness that struck him down last week, hours before he was to be deported. He spent three days in hospital before he was arrested Saturday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
