Minister Goodale: Minister and Immigration Detainees

minister goodale: Late on Tuesday afternoon, minister Goodale -- or likely his staff -- issued a press release that appears as a blog on the Huffington Post Canada, according to Huffington Post Canada. In it, the minister says he has heard the concerns and is working swiftly to remedy the problem -- but he just needs more time. The hunger strikers have three simple demands: to meet with Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale, to end indefinite detention and replace it with limited 90-day detentions, and an end to maximum-security imprisonment of immigration detainees. Yet, under his watch as minister of public safety, three people have died in immigration detention in the last five months. These three, Francisco Romero Astorga, Melkioro Gahungu and an unidentified man, all ran out of time. This is a tragedy and a political crisis. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
