Oath and/or declaration of unnamed, in support of Libero Sauro, December 1, 1940 - solo in inglese
Oath and/or declaration of unnamed, in support of Libero Sauro, December 1, 1940.
Rev. Libero Sauro was arrested on September 7, 1940 and held at Don Jail before being transferred to Petawawa Internment Camp.
Under the DOCR (Defence of Canada Regulations), after 30 days, internees could formally object to their detention to an advisory committee appointed by the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice then appointed a judge to review the internee’s case. This meant an examination of the RCMP’s evidence against the internee, meetings with the internee, and interviews with witnesses who could attest to the internee’s character. After this, the judge either recommended an internee’s release or continued internment to the Minister of Justice.
This written declaration appears to be made in support of Sauro's release. The individual is not named but claims to be familiar with Sauro's character and work with the Order Sons of Italy. The affidavit was sworn in Sudbury, showing Sauro's connections to communities across the province of Ontario.
This document forms part of a collection of documents and other materials donated by the Sauro family.
