Kingston Immigration Holding Centre and Security Certificate

national security: One, in 2005, lasted 76 days, according to Rabble. He lost 110 pounds and had to be hospitalized. In the years that followed, he undertook numerous hunger strikes. Another the next year lasted 93 days. His ordeal was the result of being subject to a security certificate, which allows the government to detain and deport those with or without legal status, using secret evidence, and without having to issue a warrant, so long as they are deemed a threat to national security. He was transferred to the Kingston Immigration Holding Centre, known as "Guantanamo North"; released from detention and put under house arrest; sent back to detention, at his request, because of the effect surveillance had on his family during his house arrest; and then returned again to house arrest, this time living alone.
