Documented deadlocks against humanitarian rights

The plaintiff brutally established over 23 deadlocks against all humanitarian logic and fundamental rights. Justice Perreault granted exterior court time but did NOT acknowledge these systematic deadlocks depriving detainees of their most basic rights.

Complaint to the Conseil de la magistrature

A formal complaint is being prepared against the Hon. Justice Éliane B. Perreault for her refusal to acknowledge the documented systematic deadlocks, despite the overwhelming evidence presented during two Habeas Corpus hearings.
