TORONTO — Canada’s federal government said Thursday it would challenge a contentious Canadian immigration-board ruling that granted refugee status to a white man from South Africa who claimed persecution from blacks in his home country.
South Africa had asked the Canadian government to appeal to the court. The ruling has angered many in South Africa, where race remains a highly sensitive issue.
Brandon Huntley argued that whites are targeted by black criminals in South Africa and that the South African government offers no protection.
