Refugee Claim Dept: The man, whose identity is under a publication ban, is one of 32 people who arrived in a group of nearly 500 migrants on British Columbia shores last August now accused of terrorism, war crimes or human smuggling, according to The Star. In his written decision, released to the media late Sunday, Tessler said mere association with the organization isn't enough to constitute membership in the group and vANCOUVER A Tamil migrant accused of terrorism links by the federal government isn't a threat to national security and can proceed with his refugee claim, the Immigration and Refugee Board has ruled. In early February he was the first to go before the board arguing he was never a member of the banned Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a claim by the Ministry of Public Safety that board member Marc Tessler ruled against.
