A federal Liberal cabinet minister has stepped in to save Fliss Cramman from being sent back to the United Kingdom, according to her lawyers. Fliss Cramman reacts after being told she will not be deported to Britain after an intervention by federal Immigration Minister John McCallum. The mother of four suffered a perforated bowel while in immigration detention at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Dartmouth. According to documents from the Parole Board of Canada, Cramman suffered from the effects of violence and alcoholism in her home. For several weeks, Nova Scotia corrections officers kept Cramman shackled by her ankle to her hospital bed.
