URGENT SUPPORT FOR LAIBAR SINGH, LAIBAR RECEIVES DEPORTATION ORDER FOR INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

RALLY SUNDAY DECEMBER 2ND. 2 PM AT CITIZENSHIP OFFICE IN SURREY 13450 102nd Avenue Surrey (between 134th and 135th Street), 1 block from Surrey Central Skytrain Station

Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) has informed Mr. Laibar Singh that he will be deported on Monday December 10th- ironically International Human Rights Day- after refusing his humanitarian and compassionate claim. It is outrageous that the Canadian government continues to push for the deportation of a paralyzed man who has received an unbelievable amount of support from the community and people all across Canada.

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.

LETTER FROM HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ON THE HEALTH STATUS OF MR. LAIBAR SINGH

October 9, 2007

The Honourable Minister Diane Finley, Minsiter of Citizenship and Immigration
The Honourable Minister Stockwell Day, Minsiter of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

As health professionals, we are deeply concerned about the situation of Mr. Laibar Singh, who is currently facing deportation around October 20th, 2007. Mr. Singh came to Canada in 2003 and his refugee claim of persecution at the hands of state police has been rejected based mostly on minor inconsistencies. While in Canada, Mr. Singh worked as a labourer, doing one of the many low-wage jobs that rely on immigrant and refugee labour. Unfortunately, Mr. Singh’s life suddenly and irreversibly changed when he suffered a cerebral aneurysm in June of 2006. Paraplegic, unable to feed or clean himself, suffering from severe renal impairment, Mr. Singh spent months at the Vancouver General Hospital and had also been at the George Pearson Centre receiving 24-hour care.
