canada secretly deports political prisoner
interesting story. Real history.
US authorities have issued an order barring him from the United States for twenty years, Ernst said. It is likely, he added, that he will soon be deported to Canada, where he lived for 42 years as a permanent resident. He then could be held in prison for having violated a "Human Rights Tribunal" ruling that declared unlawful the "Zundelsite" web site, which his wife, Ingrid Rimland, has run from the United States.
so he was deported from the US knowing that he was going to be imprisoned in Canada (for a reason)
The arrest and deportation of Ernst is an outrage, especially considering that he is married to a naturalized US citizen, and has never been convicted of any crime in the United States or Canada. As anyone who knows him well can testify, he takes great care to obey the law and abide by legal regulations.
It appears that US authorities singled him out for deportation, using the pretext of supposedly violating a procedural regulation -- while ignoring millions who have been living in the United States unlawfully for years.
Looks like both the US and Canada had reason to want rid of him. I'm not familiar with the story but he should contact Amnesty International if there is concern about his refugee status. I'm surprised he hadn't contacted them already. Unless he figured they wouldn't grant it. Maybe he should try?
