This petition calls on the federal government to deport a specific individual with protected refugee status who has been convicted of sexual assault and repeatedly violated court-ordered probation conditions, and to reform the rules around when border authorities can override protected immigration status for violent offenders.

Medhani Yohans, a non-citizen and sponsored refugee from Eritrea with "Protected Person" status, has a documented history of violence including convictions for sexual assault against strangers;

The individual has demonstrated a persistent disregard for public safety and the Canadian judicial system, having been repeatedly arrested and charged for breaching court-ordered probation conditions within hours of his release; and

The Guelph Police Service has issued multiple public safety warnings explicitly identifying this individual as a high-risk offender who poses a specific danger to women.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato:1. Direct the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to immediately issue a formal "Danger Opinion" regarding Medhani Yohans to override his protected status and enforce his deportation order; and2. Review and reform the administrative thresholds required for the CBSA to issue a "Danger Opinion" in cases involving repeat violent offenders and sex offenders, prioritizing public safety over protected immigration status. 1.
