This is internationally notable, since he was alleged to have led a program while in South Africa to "cure" people of being gay. levin.gifThe local media has been particularly quiet about this, even though the CBC notes that authorities have put out a call looking for more possible victims. In fact, aside from a brief mention on Christmas Eve, coverage has been largely found in unusual places like SBWire, and German-based openPR:
CCHR has asked the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons to explain how Dr. Aubrey Levin, who emigrated to Canada in the mid 90s, was allowed to become a Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry (Forensic Division) at the University of Calgary's Medical School, in light of the fact that in 1997 South Africa's "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" named him for possible "gross human rights abuses" during Apartheid rule. The college has refused to respond to this vital question.
