New Canadian Immigration Law Sparks Outcry Over Refugee Rights
Advocates warn Bill C-12 will put thousands of asylum seekers at risk, restricting access to refugee protections in Canada.
A new immigration law in Canada has sparked fierce criticism from human rights groups, who argue that the legislation known as Bill C-12 represents an attack on the rights of refugees and migrants. The law, which was recently passed by the Canadian government, aims to overhaul the country's asylum system, introducing new restrictions and barriers for those seeking sanctuary.
According to advocates, the changes outlined in Bill C-12 will put thousands of vulnerable individuals at risk of persecution, violence, and precarity. By limiting access to refugee protections, the law could force many asylum seekers to return to the dangerous conditions they fled, potentially exposing them to harm.
