TORONTO — A former U.S. soldier seeking asylum in Canada after fleeing criminal charges and, he alleges, torture at the hands of U.S. jailers, pleaded for mercy from Canadian authorities so he can continue treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
“I’m under extraordinary mental distress,” said Matt DeHart, 29, at his detention review hearing in Toronto on Thursday. He said he was receiving counselling from the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture before his re-arrest for a release infraction and asked to return to therapy.
“I’d like to request mercy in this matter.”
He received none. Mr. DeHart was ordered to remain in jail pending his upcoming immigration and refugee proceedings.

“I’m under extraordinary mental distress,”
Tough it out you sorry SOB.
““I’m under extraordinary mental distress,” said Matt DeHart, 29,”
No, he should’ve said “awesome” mental distress instead.
“Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture “
there’s a lot of torture going on in Canada I guess
” alleges, torture at the hands of U.S. jailers”
They made him watch: Super friends, Morris the cat, Whipple commercials, preparation h commercials, he-man and She-ra, the getalong gang, hr puffnstuff, the lost saucer, far out space nuts, and finally hong Kong fooey.
Only child molesters, illegals, Muslims and stuff can expect to get off easy in some courts
No Barney and Friends?
To add to that list-
Gilligan’s Island.
Pink lady and Jeff, Sigmund and the seamonsters, super train, the powers of Matthew star, star wars holiday special...
This guy is young enough to have possibly liked barney and friends..
Barney and friends is considered “cruel and unusual” so no.
DeHart is an illegal.
DeHart is also up on some charges that might place him in another category you mentioned.
“Barney and friends is considered “cruel and unusual” so no.”
It could have been much worse: they could have forced him to watch Obama speeches, or, (OMG) Moochelle speeches!
