I immigrated to Canada and applied for asylum few years ago. My reasons that i submitted for the asylum were the posts i made online criticizing my original country's actions, and that those posts will lead to my prosecution if i go back. I was accepted on those grounds.

So what the hell happened here with this woman? Was the judge or office worker working on her case a russian spy or something? This makes no sense at all. Using the reason to accept someone to throw them to sharks instead is draconian at best, pure evil at worst.

Someone needs to be fired and prosecuted over this, and this woman should be given asylum ASAP, especially that her name just became more public.

This strikes me as the clerical issue/error that will be solved in due course, but makes for great headlines. It's just the system working as intended, but colliding with the changing situation regarding Russia. It's easy to be angry, but that anger would be better spent pushing our various governments to mobilize industry and generate the supplies and support that Ukraine needs to be victorious. This is a book keeping error.

Edited to correct the autocorrect.
