ATAMANENKO CALLS FOR ROBIN LONG'S RELEASE IN WAKE OF FEDERAL COURT STAY FOR COREY GLASS
"With today's federal court ruling that another War Resister, Corey Glass, has been given an extended deferral to stay in Canada, there is no way that Mr. Long should be deported, especially if neither Mr. Long nor his lawyer were properly notified as to the Pre-removal Risk Assessment. This would be a violation of his legal right to appeal," stated Atamanenko.
Atamanenko stated Wednesday: "With a negative ruling on Mr. Long's Pre-removal Risk Assessment there is an even great need for the government to act on the will of Parliament and the Canadian people to let Mr. Long and other U.S. Iraq War Resisters stay in Canada."
Mr. Long's lawyer, Sheppard Moss, is seeking an emergency sitting of the Federal Court to ask for an immediate stay of his client's deportation, and will be filing papers this afternoon.
Atamanenko has been working for Mr. Long's release since first hearing of his detention Friday evening.Recommend this Post
