A bisexual man in Canada has been granted one-year temporary residency just a day before his scheduled deportation to Kenya — an outcome his supporters call “a victory for migrant and queer justice.” Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, an organization supporting Charles Mwangi, said in a press release Saturday that the 48-year-old man living in Toronto was granted the temporary resident permit after a wave of petitions, protests and an emergency application to the United Nations Human Rights committee. Mwangi had been scheduled to leave on Sunday.
