Lorne Waldman: Arshad Muhammad

Amnesty International Canada Dept: But the publication of this list has been criticized by Amnesty International Canada and some immigration lawyers, such as Lorne Waldman, according to Globe and Mail. If the purpose of this policy is to deport such people, then publicizing it is counterproductive, because we can t send people back who are at-risk of torture, Mr. Waldman said. This is just the Conservatives pushing forward their message that they are tough on crime. It s a good number, said Mr. Toews, saying he was pleased with the volume of calls to CBSA s hotline. The message we are hearing loud and clear is that the time has come to put our feet down and end the abuse of our immigration system. His client Arshad Muhammad was arrested within two days of being put on the list. After Mr. Muhammad s name was posted online, Pakistani media widely reported the incident, including his alleged links to a terrorist group, which resulted in his family in Pakistan receiving death threats, Mr. Waldman said.
