| Canada orders former Saadi Gaddafi bodyguard deported |
| 2013-01-31 |
| [Daily Nation (Kenya)] Canada on Tuesday ordered an Australian former bodyguard of slain Libyan dictator Muammar Qadaffy's ... one of those little rainstorms from the Arab Spring... third-born son to be deported. The Immigration and Refugee Board Member Alicia Seifert was quoted by Canada's public broadcaster as saying Gary Peters was "complicit in war crimes." Seifert pointed to Peters' role in an alleged scheme to sneak Saadi Qadaffy and his family into Mexico with false documents at the height of pro-democracy protests in Libya in 2011. A Canadian woman, along with a Danish citizen and two Mexicans, were charged by Mexican authorities last January with attempted trafficking of undocumented people, organised crime and falsifying official documents in the case. Peters admitted to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that he continued to work for Saadi Qadaffy after the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... imposed sanctions against the Libyan regime in 2011, but insists he was careful not to break any laws. |
