Canada Border Services: Tsunami Relief Funds

Vancouver Sun Dept: The migrant initially denied to investigators any association with the Tigers or having travelled outside Sri Lanka. But when confronted with a newspaper article about the trip, he admitted travelling with the group as a member of the media, according to Vancouver Sun. The newspaper article says an eight-member Tamil Tiger delegation had travelled abroad to raise tsunami-relief funds and one of the 492 Sri Lankan migrants who arrived in Canada last month aboard the MV Sun Sea allegedly travelled to foreign countries with a delegation from the Tamil Tigers terrorist organization, a hearing into his detention heard Wednesday. Jennifer Friburg, a lawyer representing the Canada Border Services Agency, said the migrant's contradictory statement "clearly indicates deception" and "negatively impacts his credibility," and called for his continued detention on the grounds that he poses a possible security threat. As reported in the news.
