TASS reports.

Hearings are held at the Immigration Section of the Council of Canada.

Lawyers said the 97-year-old Oberlander's health condition "continues to deteriorate."

According to lawyer Barbara Jackman, if they decide to deport him, Oberlander "will have to live out his last days at the airport without a passport and citizenship."

At the same time, opponents of the defense insist that the hearings continue, the agency writes.

The Oberlander case will be decided by Karen Greenwood, Immigration Officer.

The hearing is due to end on September 10.

In March, Oberlander's lawyers requested that the case for his deportation from Canada be dropped.

In February 2020, the Investigative Committee asked Canada to provide materials from the criminal cases against Helmut Oberlander, who is suspected of involvement in the mass murder of orphanages in Yeisk in 1942.

The Investigative Committee also reported that the man was involved in the shootings in the Rostov region.

The unit in which Oberländer served operated in the Kuban in 1942-1943.

A number of participants were detained and convicted in the 1940s and 1960s, but Oberländer managed to escape from the preliminary investigation immediately after Germany's surrender and escape punishment.

The man received Canadian citizenship, which he was stripped of in December 2019 for trying to hide his service in the Sonderkommando.
