Huntley's refugee status rejected - fights to stay in Canada

This is a follow-up of the refugee claim by a White South Africa, Brendon Huntley in Canada. He was originally granted refugee status in 2008, but when the South African government heard about it they threw their toys out of their cot. In any case, the judicial review of his granted refugee status was overturned by the Federal Court yesterday. It appears that the pressure that the Black racist ANC government of South Africa put on the Canadian government to revoke the "racist" decision, played a huge role in ensuring his refugee status was rejected. It seems that Canada only takes Tamils from Sri Lanka in as refugees - they have more "believable" stories and are the right shade of brown. Whites from Africa need not apply. Canada was one of the countries that put untold pressure on the Apartheid government to dismantle Apartheid - the result of which is that the country now has the highest rape and murder stats in the world. Shame on you Canada. Oh, and Mr Kenney - how does it feel to be the SA government's b!tch?

Brandon Huntley, a former carnival worker who lives in Ottawa, told immigration officials he was attacked personally six or seven times by black South Africans and that those beatings left him with scars on his stomach, right eye, right side of the body and hands. 

OTTAWA - A white South African who was granted refugee status in Canada after claiming racial persecution may yet be sent home.

On Wednesday, the Federal Court granted immigration minister Jason Kenney's request for a judicial review of the refugee board decision that allowed Brandon Carl Huntley to stay in Ottawa.

In his 2008 application, Huntley said he'd been stabbed three times in seven robberies at the hands of black South Africans. They called him a "white dog," he told the refugee board.

Huntley presented "clear and convincing proof of the state's inability or unwillingness to protect him," the board found. It granted him refugee status in 2009.

Kenney had argued evidence presented on Huntley's behalf was irrelevant. Another woman had testified that black South Africans had tortured and shot her brother, showing the country was powerless to prevent black-on-white violence.

The board decision had also been blasted by South Africa's governing African National Congress as "racist."

Huntley's lawyer, Rocco Galati, told the court the South African government had twisted the immigration minister's arm to review the case, calling the review application an "abuse of process from outside pressure."

Federal Court Justice James Russell didn't buy it.

Russell's decision sets aside the earlier refugee board decision, and sends Huntley's refugee claim back to a "differently constituted" board for consideration.

Huntley first came to Canada in 2004 to work as a carnival attendant. He returned the next year, staying illegally until making his refugee claim.
