Dear Canada: Stop Detaining Migrants
from Appointed: A Canadian Senator Bringing Margins to the Centre · host Kim Pate and Fregine Sheehy
On this episode of Appointed, we dig into the issue of immigration detention. We speak with a man named Olu and his wife Kimora. Olu was detained for 11 months, despite having no criminal charges laid against him. He organized with his fellow detainees and even went on a hunger strike to try to secure his freedom. We also speak with Jared Will, the lawyer who ultimately helped Olu out of detention, and Professor Jamie Liew, a legal expert in immigration and refugee law who represented Amnesty International in a landmark case on migrant rights at the Supreme Court of Canada
