Melissa Anderson: Immigration

Tamil Tigers Dept: During that time, the man - who cannot be identified due to a publication ban - joined the Tigers' naval wing and engaged in a battle with a Sri Lankan ship, during which he was shot in the leg, said IRB spokeswoman Melissa Anderson, who attended yesterday's hearing, according to Montreal Gazette. He is the first of the 492 migrants who arrived on the MV Sun Sea last year to be deported due to links to the Tigers. His deportation gives a measure of vindication to the Harper government, which has claimed repeatedly that some of the Sun Sea migrants are suspected of engaging in terrorism and one Tamil migrant out of the hundreds who came ashore in B.C. last summer was ordered deported yesterday after he was found by the Immigration and Refugee Board to have been a member of the banned Tamil Tigers from 1991 to 1996. The migrant has the option of appealing the deportation to the Federal Court of Canada. As reported in the news.
