Refugee Claimant: Ebrahim Toure and Immigration Lawyer

refugee claimant: His ongoing detention is unconstitutional because it's both arbitrary and indefinite, said Jared Will, an immigration lawyer who recently took up the case of Ebrahim Toure, a 46-year-old failed refugee claimant who is not charged with a crime but has been in jail since February 2013, according to Toronto Star. They say they're detaining him for removal but they have no means of removing him.

There's no end point to his detention and it's disconnected from its purpose. He says he was born in The Gambia and raised partly in Guinea. Toure, who was profiled earlier this year as part of a Star investigation into immigration detention, is the longest-serving immigration detainee in detention. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
