He is the only prisoner at the Kingston Immigration Holding Centre. He has been on an increasingly dangerous hunger strike for 109 days over grievances related to the conditions of his detention. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596351\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Correctional Investigator of Canada has no jurisdiction to investigate complaints or conditions at KIHC, leaving those held there with no independent ombudsperson. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596352\" data-originallang=\"en\">What has the <a data-HoCid=\"128704\" href=\"/politicians/peter-van-loan/\" title=\"Peter Van Loan\">Minister of Public Safety</a> done to resolve the hunger strike?

C'est le seul d\u00e9tenu du Centre de surveillance de l'Immigration de Kingston.
