Customs Censors Seize Irish Myths at British Columbia Border Crossing
Canada's Customs censors have run amok," says Paul Fromm Director of
the Canadian Association for Free Expression, referring to a seizure
by Canada Customs of books, booklets and tapes.
The seizure by an Inspector Rece at the Chopaka border crossing, west
of Osoyoos, B.C., involved all books and tapes in Mr. Fromm's car.
Fromm had earlier in the week run a meeting in the Okanagan, where
these titles were for sale. He had later crossed into the U.S. to do
some shopping and sightseeing. The Custo officials agreed that he was
not "importing" these books and tapes and that they were his
personal/business property.
The seizure included:
* The Irish Fairy Tale Book: Myth and Romance from the Old World
