The immigration detention centre at YVR is shrouded in secrecy and is the only one of its kind in Canada that does not allow lawyers to visit detainees, added two top Vancouver immigration lawyers. Doug Cannon, who helped found Vancouver’s duty counsel program, to provide legal services to refugees said he was surprised news of Vega Jimenez’s death did not surface publicly until this week. “The fact that someone was in custody (at the YVR detention centre) and died is something that would have gone around quickly (within legal circles). But not a single lawyer knew.” vancouversun/life/Death+CBSA+custody+sparks+calls+accountability/9451549/story.html
