For those anyone who thinks America is tough on their border, or Canada a nice, fair country. No charges, 5 years and counting sitting in maximum security prison.
Immigration detainee Ebrahim Toure marks five years without freedom: âWhatâs going on with me is not rightâ | The Star
At Ebrahim Toureâs first detention review hearing, three days after he was arrested by Canadaâs border police, immigration authorities said his detention was not likely to be âunduly lengthy.â
They just had to get him a travel document and put him on a plane.
That was five years ago. Toure is still behind bars.
The federal government, meanwhile, appears to be no closer to deporting the 46-year-old failed refugee claimant to Gambia, where he is believed to have been born. He has no identity documents and Gambian officials have given no indication they will issue him any.
So Toure continues to wait, with no idea when he will be free.
âWhatâs going on with me is not right,â he told the Star from inside the Immigration Holding Centre on Rexdale Blvd. in Etobicoke. âYou canât put somebody in jail for five years with no crime.â
