For the past year Abousfian Abd-elrazik, who is a citizen both of Canada and of Sudan, his country of origin, has lived in the lobby of Canada's embassy in Khartoum, unable to travel home and too frightened to venture outside. The Sudanese government, which twice imprisoned and released him without charge, wants him gone and even offered at one point to foot the bill. The Canadian government professes publicly that he is free to come home and is providing him with food and shelter. But each time he has seemed to be about to return, ministers have come up with further obstacles.
