After a brief trip to Canada from the United States, Father Emil Salayta, a Roman Catholic priest of the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem, was detained at the Toronto Airport by the American INS on July 20, 2003. He was then interrogated for five hours by the Immigration Officials. During the detention, Fr. Salayta was questioned under oath, fingerprinted, photographed and searched. Fr. Salayta was on his way back from appearing on the Catholic TV network program in Toronto. He was to meet with the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, HB Michel Sabbagh and Fr. Drew Christensen, the Counsel to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, in Chicago.
