Maria Matos Ruiz: Abusive Relationship

Matos Ruiz Dept: Maria Matos Ruiz is from Cuba but has Spanish citizenship because her former husband was from Spain. She said it was an abusive relationship, prompting her to flee Spain for Canada, according to CBC. "I'm very depressed, I don't know what to do, I don't know where to go," said Matos Ruiz and a Cuban woman who has lived in Ottawa for the last two years and started a family is fighting to stay in Canada after her refugee claim was rejected last month. But Canadian immigration officials denied her refugee claim, and said since Spain was a democratic country she was in no danger and should live there. The Cuban government has also said it won't allow Matos Ruiz to return to live in the country she left behind. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
