Federal Court: Macdonald Scott

Macdonald Scott: Thats the crux of a petition to the United Nations by migrant advocates who want hundreds of migrants currently held for immigration violations to be released, according to The Star. Canadians need to be concerned that we are holding hundreds of people at a cost of $239 a day for the purposes of removal when they clearly cannot be removed, Macdonald Scott, counsel for Mvogo, told reporters at a rally in front of the Federal Court on Queen St and What should Canada do with those migrants it cannot deport for a variety of reasons? Is indefinite detention the answer? On Wednesday, members of End Immigration Detention Network, a community umbrella group, filed an official complaint to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human rights on behalf of Michael Mvogo, a Cameroon man, who has been detained in jail for seven years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
