The (Canada) Federal Court has found that, considering his physical and 
mental condition, Helder Marques will be kept in Canada (in detention) 
during the ajudicial review of his immigration file (no estimation of 
time was provided).

It was not a compassional gesture from minister Lucienne Robillard.
Depending of the Federal court's judgement on (apparently) technical 
aspects, the minister could need to be urged again to exercise her 
discretionary powers and grant a special permission to Marques.

To all of you who wrote/phoned to the Minister, and to ACT UP Washington 
for this morning's demonstration at the Canadian embassy: THANKS a 
million!
