Canada's highest court has decided not to hear a deportation appeal that could have added another legal wrinkle to refugee claims from HIV/ AIDS patients.
That wrinkle would have required the Supreme Court of Canada to determine if sending a refugee home to a country with a lack of health-care resources was effectively a death sentence.
That was the argument from an HIV-positive Zimbabwe man who argued he would not receive proper health care in his home country, putting his life at risk should he be deported.
The Supreme Court was his last chance to appeal his deportation.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
