TORONTO -- A man who spied on Chinese dissidents in the United States has been living in a Toronto church since this past August to avoid deportation, the National Post has learned.
Hours before the Canada Border Services Agency was scheduled to deport Gankhuyag Bumuutseren for espionage, he sought sanctuary in St. James Anglican church in Etobicoke.
The 41-year-old Mongolian citizen has inhabited a room in the church basement since then, and while he admitted on Tuesday he had spied for China, he said he is afraid to return to his homeland.
