The United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities criticized Canada’s immigration detention system, highlighting concerns about the treatment of people with disabilities. The committee called for an end to immigration detention and the protection of legal capacity rights for detainees with disabilities. They urged Canada to implement community-based alternatives and supported decision-making models. Human Rights Watch has documented cases of detainees with disabilities facing legal capacity violations and emphasized the need for reform. The findings align with previous advocacy efforts to end immigration detention in Canada.
