CBSA seeks to deport brother of youth killed by Montreal police before his testimony
Written on February 24, 2010
Dany Villanueva, the older brother of Fredy Villanueva, who was killed by the Montreal Police in August 2008, has learned that the Canada Border Services Agency will begin the process of trying to deport him from Canada, by attempting to remove his permanent residency status.
Dany is scheduled to testify as a key witness at the coroner’s inquest into the circumstances of his brother’s death. Dany has been a permanent resident of Canada since 1998, and has lived here since he was twelve years old.
No One Is Illegal Montreal comments: “The removal proceedings against Dany are highly suspect. They amount to interference by the CBSA of the coroner’s inquest into Fredy’s death.”
