This update follows the announcement on July 21, 2011, by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney urging Canadians to help identify 30 individuals listed on the CBSA Web site who are inadmissible because they are suspected of being complicit in war crimes or crimes against humanity, and who are thought to be hiding in locations across Canada. Since this announcement, seven individuals have been apprehended or located, and, as of today, three have been removed from Canada.
Members of the public are reminded that they should not take action to apprehend the individuals listed on the CBSA Web site. Any information on the whereabouts of these wanted individuals should be reported to the CBSA Border Watch Line at 1-888-502-9060.
