An Inclusive Litany

1/10/99

The federal Correctional Services of Canada announced that, in order to comply with the nation's Privacy Act, it was prevented by law from releasing the names of 34 convicted murderers unlawfully at large after skipping parole. The agency said that any public information must come from individual police jurisdictions, even for federal arrest warrants. Victims of two such missing parolees are now suing the agency for negligence.
