Ottawa Citizen – Immigration Board Rebuked By Court
The Federal Court has once again rebuked the Immigration and Refugee Board for the way it probed the genuineness of a refugee claimant’s spiritual beliefs and practices. “The Board is tasked with assessing the applicant’s credibility and not the soundness of his theology,” Justice Donald J.

The hearing was not public and Gervais would not say why the migrants’ detention has been extended. Sharry Aiken, a law professor at Queen’s University, said the migrants — three of nine who were aboard the S/V Tabasco II before it capsized last week — should have had the chance to seek legal representation.
