Sivaloganathan Thanabalasingam: Flight Risk and Murder Charges

sivaloganathan thanabalasingam: Thanabalasingam, 31, arrived in Canada as a refugee from Sri Lanka in 2004, and recently became the first person in Quebec to not have murder charges against him proceeded with due to unreasonable delays in the justice system, according to CTV. Despite the stay of proceedings, Canada Border Services Agency arrested him before he was officially released on the murder allegation and Canada's immigration and refugee board ordered him deported to his country of origin. Immigration board member Stephane Morin said Sivaloganathan Thanabalasingam remains a flight risk and a danger to the public. Thanabalasingam is appealing that decision, which could take years to be heard. Morin refused, stating that the two family members didn't seem to understand Canada's justice system, and had testified earlier in the day they didn't think he did anything wrong, despite being accused of murdering his wife. His lawyer, Vic Artinian, argued at the immigration hearing that his client should be released into the care of his brother and sister-in-law while he appeals his deportation order.
