The Waiting Room and Yousef

Yousef: All eyes are on her as she shuffles past the slim man in a leather coat in the waiting room. She does not lift her eyes to acknowledge Yousef, who she referred to in court as a devil who kept her confined for years as a sex slave. Yousef has been granted temporary sole custody of Lins daughter. Unlike in criminal courts in Toronto, almost all parties to a family court case arrive and leave by the front door, according to The Star. And the story behind Yousef and Lin who has now spent nearly seven months in jail at the Vanier Centre for Women in Milton for disobeying a court order to return her 11-year-old daughter from China raises questions and The din of the waiting room outside family court, where it is standing room only for lawyers and warring couples, goes suddenly silent when a side door opens and a guard emerges with Lin, a small woman in prison sweats, handcuffs and shackles. An accused person arriving by a side door is a rare spectacle. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
