Canada Border Services Agency and Abdurahman Ibrahim Hassan

Toronto Abdurahman Ibrahim Hassan: Last year, almost 6,000 men and 1,746 women were detained by Canada Border Services Agency, according to Toronto Star. Although most were held for 23 days on average, 58 had been held at least a year and some more than five years. They are either non-status foreign nationals or former permanent residents who lost their status due to criminal convictions, but have served their sentences and are in the queue, awaiting deportation. Abdurahman Ibrahim Hassan, shown in a family photograph from the late-1990s, died on June 11 in a Peterborough hospital, while under immigration detention. One of them was Toronto Abdurahman Ibrahim Hassan, originally from Somalia, who was held in Lindsay from June 2012 until his death three years later, after some 35 detention reviews by the Immigration Division tribunal in his failed bids to be freed. He had been held in the Lindsay jail. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
