Supreme Court Of Canada: Convictions

Clato Mabior Dept: Lawyers for Clato Mabior will appear before the Supreme Court of Canada on Wednesday to argue that Canadian law criminalizes carriers of HIV the virus that causes AIDS and does not acknowledge variations in transmission levels, according to CBC. Mabior's convictions hinged on his failure to inform his sexual partners that he has HIV. Four of the convictions were later overturned on appeal and canada's top court is set to hear the case of two HIV-positive Canadians who did not disclose their medical condition to their sexual partners. Clato Mabior, seen in a police photo, has recently completed his prison sentence and is set to be deported to Sudan in mid-February. Winnipeg-based Mabior was sentenced to prison in 2008 for 14 years after he was found guilty of having unprotected sex with four females and protected sex with two others, including a 12-year-old girl.
