Kanadisches Bundesgericht urteilt: Keine Auslieferung von Flüchtlingen mehr an die USA wegen US-Folter-Politik

Canadian Judge Blasts U.S. Terror Policies (The Blotter, ABC)

Ausschnitt:

Because of the U.S. government's policies on torture and refugees, Canada can no longer turn away refugees coming from the United States, a Canadian judge has ruled. According to Canadian news accounts, Justice Michael Phelan's ruling struck down an agreement that once barred thousands of refugees seeking asylum in Canada. The judge said the United States does not protect refugees fleeing political persecution and torture, which international conventions require. Instead, it adheres to rigid policies which may result in mistreatment, including forcing victims of abuse to return to the countries in which they were mistreated, he said.

Die kanadische Regierung will jedoch Widerspruch gegen das Urteil einlegen.

Helfen wird das Urteil des kanadischen Richters Flüchtlingen, die aus den USA geflohen sind, natürlich nicht unbedingt. Dann kidnappt die USA sie einfach aus Kanada heraus.
