Canada Border Services Agency and Renu Mandhane

criminal lawyer: Renu Mandhane, a criminal lawyer and the program executive director, said the report reveals shocking gaps in the rule of law, according to CTV. A CBSA officer essentially has the discretion to determine that somebody should be held in maximum-security jail conditions, Mandhane said Wednesday in an interview. The report by the University of Toronto International Human Rights Program finds that Canada Border Services Agency has become more heavy handed in dealing with migrants with little or no accountability. It was really surprising to me...that decision was totally discretionary and also not subject to any rules. It contains harrowing profiles of detainees imprisoned for as long as eight years who talk of a lack of access to support services, confinement in cold windowless cells, their despair. The report, called We Have No Rights , concludes incarceration can have a catastrophic impact on migrants' mental health. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
