Tamil women and children know we're here to support them," said Nassim Elbardouh, from No One Is Illegal, a refugee and immigrant rights group and a pregnant woman from the boat of Tamil migrants was released from Burnaby's youth prison Monday, following a detention hearing. Meanwhile, about 70 demonstrators gathered outside the Burnaby youth prison on Saturday, banging pot and pans in hopes a group of Tamil women and children would hear them from inside the prison walls.
