“A Russian anti-war activist is facing the prospect of deportation from Canada after her citizenship application was blocked on the grounds that her blogposts had broken Moscow’s harsh laws criminalizing criticism of the invasion of Ukraine.”
What the hell Canada?!
Not a good look for canda I’m afraid
>A case officer cited subsection 372(1) of the criminal code, which prohibits people from “convey[ing] information that they know is false, or causes such information to be conveyed by letter or any means of telecommunication”.
>The rarely-used 1985 statute carries a maximum sentence of two years behind bars.
Wait… is it against the law to *lie* in Canada?? Oh man, this is amazing.
As for Kartasheva’s case: somebody has obviously fucked up and there’s not really much chance that she will get deported. Going to the press was the right thing to do and the attention will probably get this cleared up quickly – it’s one of the advantages of having a free press.
It will get cleared up.
She should contact King Charles.
He is I believe still the King of Canada? Or am I Mistaken? I could be as I’m from the UK.
