Liberation Tigers Of Tamil Eelam: Cargo Freighter

Vancouver Island Dept: "We're there to help for them, any kind of help emotionally, physically because they are our fellow people," said Angela Nalliah, who attended the gathering. "They are not terrorists. They are our own.", according to CBC. The federal government has said it believes some of the migrants are members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, also known as the Tamil Tigers, which has been outlawed in Canada as a terrorist group since 2006 and about 50 members of the Tamil community gathered at a temple in Burnaby, B.C., on Sunday to discuss how to help the nearly 500 migrants who arrived on Vancouver Island from Sri Lanka aboard a cramped cargo freighter on Friday. The 490 migrants arrived at CFB Esquimalt near Victoria on Friday after being at sea aboard the MV Sun Sea since May. They face immigration hearings beginning Monday afternoon in Vancouver. As reported in the news.
