Immigration Custody: Police and Siu Director

immigration custody: On Friday, the Special Investigations Unit said there are no reasonable grounds to charge the two officer, one from Peterborough police, the other from the Ontario Provincial Police, who were watching the 39-year-old man at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre where he was under medical treatment in June, according to Toronto Star. The issue that I need to determine is whether or not the actions of either of the subject officers were a significant contributing cause of the man death, SIU director Tony Loparco said in a statement. By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Fri., July 15, 2016 More than a year after Abdurahman Ibrahim Hassan died in immigration custody, Ontario police watchdog has cleared the officers responsible for guarding him at a hospital from any wrongdoing. My conclusion is that neither officer did anything that could reasonably satisfy the essential offence element of causation. The SIU has yet again found police not responsible for another black Somali refugee death. The same day, the provincial coroner office also called an inquest into the death of Hassan, who had been detained at the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay for three years and struggled for decades with mental illness and diabetes.
