French Interpreter: Going To Spain

Port Of Montreal Dept: And by the time they emerged from their dark, dank hiding place, they were surprised to learn they were approaching Canada, according to CBC. "I got on a boat, I didn't even know where it was going," one young man explained through an Arab-French interpreter. "I thought the ship was going to Spain or Italy." The stowaways were found hiding in a ship that docked at the Port of Montreal. A group of Moroccan nationals spent seven days hiding inside a cold shipping container, being ferried by a cargo vessel to an unknown destination. Those scant details emerged as testimony at Immigration and Refugee Board hearings Friday, a day after Canadian authorities raided a ship and arrested the men inside. As reported in the news.
