An Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) appeals judge ruled in December that refugee judge Yonatan Rozenszajn committed “serious” errors in judgment when he repeatedly asked a woman trying to escape decades of domestic abuse why her husband didn’t “just kill” her. Now, lawyers and other experts are calling for the creation of an independent panel with the power to investigate judges and for an external review of the board’s Refugee Protection Division (RPD) to see how widespread these problems have become.
