Just reading R Cuthbertson's article in the Herald "Home to Haiti? Refugee's plight highlights system's challenges". The article is about "Marie", represented by this office, who was refused refugee protection by RPD Board Member Preeti Adhopia about a week before the devastating earthquake in Haiti:
"If what has happened to my client [gang rape while her 5 year old daughter hid; murders of a brother and a sister] isn't atrocious and appalling, I don't know what is," Harsanyi says. "Haiti is the rape capital of the western hemisphere. To return my client to that is fundamentally wrong."

Canada's refugee system seems out of whack - keeping criminals here for years, but denying protection to women from one of the poorest countries' in the world...

Update: the application for leave and judicial review was dismissed for "Marie" and her daughter. I've commented in the past that the Federal Court cannot be viewed as a safety net for "false negative" decisions of the RPD. The decision is of great disappointment to our client.
