Tamil Tiger Dept: This is the fourth migrant from the Sun Sea to be ordered deported on such grounds since the ship carrying almost 500 asylum-seekers arrived on the West Coast last August, according to Vancouver Sun. However, Rempel found that the man was "more than a mere sympathizer and that his contributions to the LTTE were much more than minimal or marginal." The Immigration and Refugee Board on Monday ordered the deportation of another Tamil migrant from the MV Sun Sea, after finding that his activities in Sri Lanka -including an appearance in a Tamil Tiger propaganda video -constituted membership in a terrorist organization. In a written decision, IRB adjudicator Geoff Rempel acknowledged that the migrant was never a formal member of the banned Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and never participated directly in the group's armed struggle.
