... The Post's Stewart Bell writes about the case of Gankhuyag Bumuutseren, a failed refugee claimant who says he was recruited by Chinese intelligence services to spy on expatriate dissidents and then recruited by the Mongolians and became a double agent.... After run-ins with both the Chinese and Mongolian authorities, Mr. Bumuutseren and his family decided to seek asylum in Canada on the grounds that his life was in danger. When Canada Border Services Agency declined his request, Mr. Bumuutseren sought refuge in St. James Anglican church in Toronto where he has lived since. Mr. Bumuutseren's application for refugee status was denied.... The ending of Mr. Bumuutseren’s story is still uncertain. The Immigration and Refugee Board has ordered his deportation for engaging “in espionage against a democratic institution or process,” and the Federal Court has dismissed all of his appeals.... The CBSA says   ...

           ... The Chinese "were interested in the Inner Mongolians who lived in Ulan Bator ... especially in those people who conducted political activities and groups of people who conducted political activities outside China," he said. His code name was Davaa. He took photos and collected intelligence on the leaders of the Inner Mongolian secessionist movement. He passed his findings to his handlers during his business trips to China. He was paid well for his services, one time collecting a US$1,000 "gift." But he said the Chinese also told him if he stopped spying, they would report him to the Mongolian authorities. He had been spying for China for just over a year when he was arrested by Mongolian agents at Ulan Bator airport as he was returning from China. He says they starved, beat and tortured him. After three days, he told them about his work for Chinese intelligence. He said he was freed under one condition: he would spy on China for the Mongolian secret  ...

           ... [1]  Gankhugag Bumuutseren was a double agent. He is a Mongolian who spied for both Mongolia and China. When all came to light, things did not go well for him. He was jailed in China and apparently tortured before being deported to Mongolia, where he was also detained. Fearing that the secret police in Mongolia were persecuting him, he, his new wife, and their young children, one his and one hers, came to Canada in order to seek asylum. The claim as originally filed was based on the husband’s situation. However, he was deemed inadmissible in virtue of section 34 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and so his refugee claim was not heard. Section 34(1)(a) of IRPA provides that a foreign national is inadmissible on security grounds for engaging in an act of espionage or an act of subversion against a democratic government, institution or process as they are understood in Canada. [2]  As a result, Mr. Bumuutseren’s wife, Munkhtsetseg Tumen Ulzii,  ...

           ... This arrest made by the police and State Security personnel of the People’s Republic of China with the cooperation of Mongolian police is a clear violation of the Constitution and other relevant laws and regulations of Mongolia. It is also a flagrant violation of international human rights conventions ratified by Mongolia as well as  basic human rights norms that democratic countries around the world uphold. This illegal act by Mongolian police who directly cooperated with police officials of Communist China is evidence that our police authorities who are supposed to implement the rule of law of the democratic nation of Mongolia have been deeply infiltrated by certain forces who hate the solidarity, freedom, democracy, human rights and justice of all Mongolian peoples, who do not obey law and order. These certain forces do not respect human rights and human well-being, abuse their power to destroy human lives, they are corrupt and full of hatred for   ...
