#Refugeehealth: “This decision is a victory for #humanrights, for human dignity, and for compassion”, said Audrey Macklin, Professor and Chair in Human Rights Law at the University of Toronto, and executive member of CARL. “The decision makes clear that a government cannot deliberately subject human beings to physical and emotional suffering as a means of punishing them for seeking refugee protection. Asking for refugee protection is not a crime. Today’s judgment is consistent with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canada’s international legal commitments, and the values that make us proud to be Canadian.”
