The Globe and Mail reports that the federal government
has not complied with a judge’s order to hand over documents about the abuses suffered in St. Anne’s Indian Residential School in Fort Albany, Ont. Lawyers representing students were back in court on June 10 to ask that the government produce transcripts of the trial of a former school supervisor convicted in 1999 on three counts of administering a noxious substance. “It was proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Anna Wesley had forced the victims, when they were small children at St. Anne’s, to eat their own vomit by assaulting them,” state lawyers in court documents. Children as young as six were also tortured in an electric chair.
