Lawyers Urge Canadian PM to Block Bush’s Entry Across Border

HeadlineNov 30, 2004

In Halifax, a mock war crimes trial will take place later today to try Bush for crimes committed in Iraq. The legal group Lawyers Against War has said that Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin should issue a warrant for President Bush’s arrest for breaking the country’s Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act. The legal group called on Ottawa to deny Bush’s entry into Canada because Canadian immigration law bars entry to “those who have engaged in gross violations of human rights.”
