In Canada, war resister Jeremy Hinzman will learn today whether Canada will grant him refugee status. The 26-year-old Hinzman fled the United States in January after his application for Conscientious Objector status was rejected by the military. He is believed to be the first U.S. soldier to file for refugee status in Canada for refusing to fight in Iraq. At least five other U.S. soldiers have since fled to Canada seeking refugee status.
