Frankfurt Airport and Asylum Seekers

asylum seekers: Yet the traces of evidence Nourmohammadi and Delavar have left behind airport security footage of them in T-shirts and fresh haircuts, a friends testimony about their final preparations in Kuala Lumpur, a heartbroken mother at the Frankfurt Airport waiting for her son in vain do not tell of terrorism, according to The Star. Here in Canada, a proud tradition of safe harbour is being systematically replaced with restrictive policies that push asylum seekers into making increasingly precarious choices. According to a 2013 report by the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinic , new restrictions passed in Ottawa have led to deadly consequences for asylum seekers attempting to enter Canada. One man lost both of his legs while trying to cross the border at a railway bridge; others have drowned in the Niagara River and After Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 suddenly vanished from air control radar screens at 1:20 a.m. on Saturday, talk of terrorism quickly emerged. These warnings took on added charge once officials established that at least two passengers had boarded the flight using stolen passports, and later, that the mystery passengers were young male Iranian nationals: 19-year-old Pouria Nourmohammadi and 29-year-old Seyed Mohammed Reza Delavar, who were in possession of false identification and one-way plane tickets in a desperate attempt to migrate to Europe. They tell a global story about high-stakes migration and the desperation of todays asylum seekers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
