Canada Pledges to Examine Detention of Refugees
-----------------------------------------------

The Canadian government is pledging to examine its own practice of
detaining asylum seekers, after a string of deaths inside detention
centers. One refugee died on Saturday at the Edmonton Remand Centre,
while two other refugees died while in the custody of the Canada Border
Services Agency this spring in Ontario.
