Description
A delegation of the Canadian Inuit implores French authorities to extradite a French priest accused of sexually assaulting young Inuit in the 1960s in Canada.
Joannes Rivoire, 91, who disputes these accusations, left Canada in 1993 and now lives in a retirement home in Lyon, France.
"The Church is harbouring a fugitive here, a sexual predator. They need to kick him out, send him to Canada so he can face justice," said Tanya Tungilik, whose late father alleged that the priest had sexually abused him as a child. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
