The request for asylum in Canada after being detained can stem from various reasons, often related to fears of persecution, violence, or human rights violations in the individual's home country. Here are some common factors that might lead a person to seek asylum:
Political Persecution: The individual may have been involved in political activities or dissent against their government, leading to threats or imprisonment.
Fear of Violence: If the person belongs to a marginalized group (ethnic, religious, sexual orientation), they might fear violence or discrimination that could endanger their life.
Human Rights Violations: Experiences of torture, inhumane treatment, or other violations of human rights can compel someone to seek refuge in a safer country.
Legal Issues: Sometimes, individuals may face unjust legal charges or be at risk of unfair trials in their home country.
Detention Conditions: If the individual was detained under harsh or inhumane conditions, this could further motivate their desire to escape and seek asylum.
