HIV-positive gay Mexican's Convention refugee claim denied.
In may 2006, the Federal Court of Canada upheld an Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) decision refusing to grant refugee status to an HIV-positive gay man from Mexico. The Court did not find patently unreasonable the IRB's conclusion that the applicant would not experience a lack of state protection against persecution and discrimination based on sexual orientation and HIV status.
