Desperate Measures and Canadian Government Documents

: I feel very strongly that the world has to open its eyes and prevent all these atrocities that are being committed by various countries so that there is no necessity for people to leave their countries, to take desperate measures to go elsewhere, according to Globe and Mail. The man, dubbed B188 in Canadian government documents, said through a Tamil translator that he paid a smuggler in Thailand to travel with a group on two boats before they were transferred to the MV Sun Sea, which was already in international waters. But he said dying at sea was worth the risk for a shot at freedom, and it the same chance that migrants heading from Africa to Europe are taking. The ship with 380 men, 63 women – four of whom were pregnant – and 49 children was intercepted off the coast of B.C. in August, 2010. He said there were two toilets on the Sun Sea and that he would awake at 4 a.m. to avoid the lineups because he had trouble standing due to chest injuries he'd suffered in the Sri Lankan civil war during a bombing raid, allegedly by security forces. It followed the arrival of another ship, MV Ocean Lady, in October, 2009, with 76 Tamil migrants on board. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
