Website Listing: Canada Border Services Agency

Canada Border Services Agency: Arshad Muhammad was among 30 men on the federal governments highly publicized Most Wanted list released in the summer of 2011. He was arrested a day after Ottawa launched a website listing the alleged war criminals and posting their photos, according to The Star. Last December, the Canada Border Services Agency overruled that decision after a review concluded he posed a threat to Canadas national security and Senior border and immigration officials tried to interfere in a decision relating to the pending deportation of one of Canadas most-wanted criminals, a court has heard. However, in October 2011 a Citizenship and Immigration officer conducted a pre-removal risk assessment and deemed Muhammads life would be at risk if he were deported back to Pakistan, due to his alleged links to an Islamist group involved in terrorist attacks.
