The Citizenship and Immigration Minister, Jason Kenney, held a press conference at Parliament Hill on Tuesday to announce the deportation of a “convicted terrorist” from Canada. Almost almost 26 years after entering Canada with his family, Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad is being deported to Lebanon as he continued to fight several lengthy court proceedings in Canada since his arrival.
Kenney informed reporters on Monday that “this case is almost a comedy of errors,” alleging that Mohammad made a “mockery” of Canada’s immigration system. He explained that “[Mohammad] lied about his identity, he lied about not having criminal past, he lied about not having ties to terrorist organizations.” It was revealed that Mohammad was assuredly convicted by a Greek court of “manslaughter by negligence” after an attack on an El Al plane at the Athens airport in 1968 by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in which an Israeli man was killed.
Later the Greek government was enforced to pardon Mohammad in 1970, while it commuted his 18-year sentence, due to negotiations at a hostage-taking aboard another plane. It was admitted that Mohammad were allowed permanent residency in Canada in 1987, along with his wife and three infant children, however later an investigation by the Immigration department reported that he should not have been admitted due to his conviction in the attack on the airliner, which was maliciously not disclosed in his application at all.
