Coalition protests arrest Refugee detained.

100 Palestinians face deportation

A coalition seeking to stop the deportation of about 100 Palestinian refugee claimants in Montreal criticized the arrest yesterday of one of its members, a Palestinian who is under a deportation order.

"There are ongoing negotiations with the immigration minister's office to sort out the issue of Palestinian refugees in Montreal, but in the middle of the talks someone gets grabbed and arrested by Immigration," said Rabie Masri, member of the Coalition Against the Deportation of Palestinian Refugees.

"It is unfair to throw these people back to refugee camps in the Middle East, where they have no rights," he added.

Abdel Majeed Ahmed was arrested on a deportation order that was issued last winter. He will have a hearing tomorrow to review his detention.

"He could be deported at any time during his detention," Masri said.

More than 130 human rights organizations have sent letters to Citizenship and Immigration Minister Denis Coderre urging him to stop the deportation.

"Ahmed and many others come from Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. Massacres were committed in these camps and they are run by feuding militias now," Masri added.

A spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada said it is policy to detain those with deportation orders against them.
