Why judges should be forced to live with their decisions - directly

Mr. Saini was a 21-year-old member of the militant All India Sikh Student Federation when he led a team of hijackers that seized an Air India flight with 264 passengers and crew on board.

The hijackers forced the plane to land in Pakistan and demanded the release of Sikh militants, asylum and $23-million. They threatened to kill their hostages but surrendered after 20 hours. Two passengers and a crew member were injured.

A Pakistani court sentenced Mr. Saini to life but he was released after serving 10 years. He fled to Canada, claiming to be an Afghan named "Balbir Singh," but when Canadian authorities discovered his real identity, they ordered him to leave the country.

While he fought his deportation through the courts, Mr. Saini obtained a law degree from the University of Windsor. In January, the Law Society of Upper Canada ruled him ineligible to practice law because he was not of good character.

Now here's the money quote:

"This is just harassment," said Tejinder Singh, Mr. Saini's brother and a Mississauga immigration consultant. "This is what they do with the Sikhs over there."

So let's see if I can get this right. The man was part of a group that hijacked a whole plane full of people and forced it to land somewhere other than where it was supposed to. They then held all of those people hostage in attempting to get their brethren released who ALSO presumably did something to get arrested. Then he was sentenced to life in prison (goood), got out in 10 years (baaad), and promptly entered Canada under an assumed name.

So with this narrowed down statement, it should be reasonable to assume that Canadian society DOESN'T WANT HIM HERE, and as a result, it really has no responsibility to allow him to stay in the country. It ALSO has no responsibility to protect him from legal ramifications and potential "torture" (nice that every prison system in Asia is assumed to "torture" their occupants) from his home country.

His brother implied that this happens to Sikhs, and we're all just prejudiced. I say, perhaps some people should take responsibility for their past actions.

Either way if the judge lets him back in, then he should be responsible for the man's actions.
