YOUR SUPPORT STILL NEEDED- IT’S MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Late last night the Citizenship and Immigration National Headquarters Office granted a 20-day extension for an independent medical assessment on Mr. Laibar Singh’s fitness to travel. They have also stated that Mr. Laibar Singh’s pending Humanitarian and Compassionate legal claim will be decided on or after November 8 2007. Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), however, has yet to grant Mr. Singh a stay on this basis. In light of Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s acknowledgement that Mr. Singh has a right to an independent medical assessment given his fragile physical health, it would be bizarre,
illogical, and fundamentally unjust if Canadian Border Services Agency decides to push through with the deportation on October 22nd.

Meanwhile a delegation of supporters from the Abbotsford Sahib Kalgidhar Darbar Gurudwara and South Asian Human Rights Group traveled to Ottawa on October 17 with thirty five thousand petition signatures on an Official Petition to Parliament. The petitions were raised in Parliament today.

*** PLEASE TAKE ACTION IN NEXT 24 HOURS- IT IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

It is clear that the government is being forced to respond to an unparalled amount of support and pressure. It is time that they get the message and grant Mr. Laibar Singh a stay on his deportation order of October 22nd and respond to the demand for him to get permanent residency on his pending humanitarian and compassionate claim.
