Kankou Keita

Federal Court Dept: The Federal Court held an emergency hearing by telephone Saturday to consider an application by Kankou Keita and her five children to stop their deportation back to their home country, according to CBC. It is unclear whether the government will be successful in deporting the family, because Keita's children don't have all the required travel documents. It will be up to the airline to decide whether to let them board and a family from Guinea that fears its daughters will be forced into marriages and possibly subjected to genital mutilation is to be deported Sunday after losing a last-minute court challenge. After a judge turned down their last-ditch appeal, Immigration Canada ordered Keita and her two youngest children, aged nine and 12, to leave Canada on Sunday. Her three other kids, aged 17, 18 and 20, must leave by Tuesday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
