Federal tribunal forced Matsqui prison to reinstate guard

A prison guard at Matsqui Institution who was suspended without pay after being charged with sexual assault is back on the job after he appealed his suspension to a labour board.

Balkar Singh Basra was suspended in April 2006 after the Correctional Service of Canada received a letter from Crown counsel telling them he had been charged in connection with a date rape in Surrey.

The letter, which is quoted in the labour board's decision, states Basra met his alleged victim through a chat line and, on the couple's second date, the two met for drinks at Basra's home with a plan to go out for dinner.
