Nicolaou: Human Smuggling

Publication Ban Dept: The man, who cannot be identified because of a publication ban, admitted he was one of 12 crew members who were first to board the ship and helped run it on its voyage from Thailand to Canada, according to CTV. "Without their contribution, there would have been no journey," he told the board and at a hearing Thursday, Kenny Nicolaou asked the Immigration and Refugee Board to deport the man, the first Sri Lankan refugee claimant from the MV Sun Sea to face board allegations of human smuggling. Nicolaou said the operation to arrange and transfer 492 migrants across the ocean was "highly organized" and required key people to ensure it ran smoothly. As reported in the news.
