In Canada, U.S. Army war resister Jeremy Hinzman made his case Monday for Canada to give him refugee status. Hinzman told Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board that the war in Iraq was illegal and that he would have become a war criminal by fighting in it. The 26-year-old Hinzman also said he would be persecuted if forced to return to the United States where he could face five years in prison.
