Petition to the Government of Canada
- The security situation around the refugee camps in the Eastern border of Sudan remains to be dangerous and dreadful for escapees from the Eritrean regime because of gross abuse of human rights;
- The Sudanese security and other criminals extort bribes, kidnap and sell refugees to human traffickers, demand ransom, abuse, rape, discriminate, humiliate and kill them;
- The Shagarab refugee camp is within few kms from the Eritrean border and Eritrean security agents easily kidnap refugees, the Center lacks adequate shelter, food, water, toilets, and adequate health facilities;
- The host country’s policies and procedures are ignored by its own authorities, and the non-cooperation of UNHCR staff due to corruption;
- The Canada immigration policy Guide (IMM 6000)” Step 1, states one to be eligible, the Principal Applicant (PA), and linked family members must be referred by organization such as the (UNHCR); or a private sponsor; and must meet the definition of Convention Refugee Abroad Class or Country of Asylum Class; and
- The IRCC is demanding the privately sponsored refugees to produce ProGres number, ignoring the Private Sponsors option.
