Another Victory for War resisters in Federal Court: Federal Court judge orders new Humanitarian and Compassionate Application and Pre-Removal Risk Assessment for war resister Dean Walcott!
In a strongly worded decision, Justice de Montigny affirmed that the Immigration Officer who denied Dean’s application to stay in Canada did not adequately address his conscientious objections to the war and the harsh punishment he would face if deported to the United States.
The court made it clear that applications to stay in Canada on Humanitarian & Compassionate grounds cannot be properly addressed unless “the sincere moral and political objections that motivated” war resisters to refuse to participate in the Iraq war are taken into account.
The judge strongly affirmed that the long prison sentences and other harsh treatment given to war resisters who publicly speak out against the war amounts to persecution.
