Liberation Tigers Of Tamil Eelam: Vic Toews

Tamil Tigers Dept: Yet, despite the government’s belief that the Tamil Tigers are behind this venture, Canadian authorities chose not to intercept this ship in international waters. That would be a difficult undertaking legally, so Ottawa must continue to develop its intelligence and policing networks and work with Asian allies, including Australia and Thailand, to intercept migrant smuggling vessels and prevent them from reaching Canadian shores in the first place, according to Globe And Mail. While the migrants will be held in local correctional facilities while their identities are established, they must eventually be released, unless they are deemed a flight risk, a danger to the public or are considered inadmissible on security grounds and the federal government has been monitoring the MV Sun Sea since May when it began its perilous journey in the Gulf of Thailand. This week, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a separatist group in Sri Lanka, organized the migrant smuggling vessel, and that the Sun Sea is carrying 200 Sri Lankans, including members of the Tamil Tigers. Once the Sun Sea reaches the coast of Vancouver Island, as it is expected to do today or tomorrow, Canada’s Navy and Coast Guard will be obligated to assist the passengers and crew, who will be entitled to make asylum claims, and to appeal every government decision in a laborious, potentially years-long process, during which they can stay in Canada. As reported in the news.
