[news] Canada Deports Children to Dangerous Countries

[Resist!ca]

Hardening attitudes toward refugees Immigration agents play hardball. Canada 
deporting refugee children to very troubled countries RICHARD GOLDMAN The 
Gazette Tuesday, July 06, 2004 Seventeen-year-old Sadaf Khan went to hospital 
in Montreal on election day after starting to cough up blood. Doctors think she 
might have bleeding ulcers. If you were in her shoes, you would probably be 
suffering from ulcers as well. At an age when Canadian children are expected to 
be facing nothing more traumatic than final exams and proms, Sadaf has had to 
assume the public defence of her parents and three younger siblings. Because of 
her fluent French and English, this award-winning student has been eloquently 
pleading at press conferences for someone from Immigration Canada to spare her 
family from deportation and a fate too awful to contemplate.
