Canadian Waters: Sea Cargo

Sri Lankan Dept: Police have confirmed that one Tamil man died aboard the MV Sun Sea cargo ship while it was en route to Canada but not yet in Canadian waters, according to CTV. The roughly 490 Sri Lankan migrants who arrived on the ship have been held in custody since they arrived last week and detention review hearings begin today for close to 500 immigrants who came to Canada last Friday aboard a rusty cargo ship. According to sources, living conditions were horrific onboard the ship, with several hundred passengers sharing one toilet, and as little as one litre of fresh water allotted for each passenger, per week. As reported in the news.
