Ghana Accuses Canada of Visa Injustice for World Cup Star

Ghana criticizes Canada's refusal to issue a visa to Thomas Partey, citing pending criminal charges in Britain. Ghana calls the decision unfair, challenging the reliance on unproven allegations. While Canada maintains consistency with immigration law, the controversy adds tension to the World Cup's co-hosted events.

The Ghanaian government has condemned Canada's decision to deny a visa to midfielder Thomas Partey for the upcoming World Cup match against Panama, labeling it as 'high-handed and extremely unfair'.

The West African nation highlights that the decision stems from pending criminal proceedings in Britain, where Partey faces rape and sexual assault allegations, charges he denies.

Ghana is urging Canada to reconsider, citing fairness concerns over reliance on unproven accusations, while Canada asserts the uniform application of its immigration laws in such events.
