Meet Ebrahim, a Black, stateless person who was in a Canadian prison for six and a half years even though he has never been convicted of a crime in Canada. In this episode we talk about why Ebrahim came to Canada, how he was arrested and detained for immigration-related reasons, and how he was denied release 72 times in a row before he was freed. Ebrahim will tell you how this experience has changed him and what he hopes for in the future.
