Canada Border Services Agency: Marc Tessler

Refugee Claim Dept: The man, who can't be identified, told border officers he was a rice farmer and sold his crops to the Tigers, and was also paid to load and unload trucks at local farms. He admitted working as a waiter in a Tiger-owned restaurant, according to CTV. In the end, Tessler concluded the man wasn't a member of the Tigers and allowed him to proceed with his refugee claim and on Friday, Marc Tessler chided a lawyer for the Canada Border Services Agency during a hearing for a Sri Lankan refugee claimant who is accused of being a member of the Tigers, also known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or LTTE. On several occasions, he built decorations for the LTTE, but he said he was forced to do that work and he never joined the group. As reported in the news.
