Canadian Tamil Congress: International Espionage

Progress Ave Dept: We were targeted. We fully well know we were targeted because we were involved in this Sun Sea issue, said David Poopalapillai, national spokesperson for the Tamil congress, according to The Star. Poopalapillai said some rooms in the office were ransacked and computers and telephones were left on the floor. The computer at the main reception desk was the only thing taken, he said and the Canadian Tamil Congress fears the names of hundreds of Tamil asylum-seekers who boarded the MV Sun Sea and their families back home have been stolen in what they allege is either a hate crime or an act of international espionage. Toronto police are investigating the break-in, believed to have occurred late Saturday or in the early hours of Sunday, at the congress headquarters on Progress Ave. in Scarborough. As reported in the news.
