Former inmate who was denied kosher meals loses human rights complaint

 
VANCOUVER --
A human rights complaint filed by a former inmate who was denied kosher meals at two B.C. correctional facilities has been dismissed.
Morgan Griffith told the province's Human Rights Tribunal he first requested a kosher diet at the Okanagan Correctional Centre in 2017, then again at the North Fraser Pretrial Centre the following year.
Both times he was denied, something the inmate alleged was a violation of his human rights. Prisons and jails are meant to provide kosher meals to people who require them as part of their Jewish faith.
The tribunal declined to hear Griffiths' complaint, however, after reviewing evidence that cast doubt on whether he had a legitimate religious reason for his requests
