Rights Committee: Assault Charges and Abdilahi Elmi

rights committee: However, he never became a permanent resident, according to CTV. In June, the Canada Border Services Agency determined that Elmi should be deported because of a criminal record that includes assault charges. Abdilahi Elmi, 34, arrived in Canada as a child and eventually ended up in a foster home. He was due to be deported back to Kismayo, Somalia on Monday. By the mid-afternoon, the CBSA sent an email to Elmi's lawyer, Idowu Ohioze, informing him that his client's deportation on Monday had been cancelled. But on Friday, the United Nations called for a delay so that the UN human rights committee could review the case. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
