Mahendran: Nadarajah Mahendran and Thampeernayagam Rajaratnam

mahendran: Mark Nohra, who represents Mahendran, told the jury in closing arguments that the Canada Border Services Agency and RCMP showed total disregard for policies established to protect people's liberty and freedom, according to The Waterloo Record. He said investigators repeatedly showed isolated photographs of his client to migrants during interviews. The men, Nadarajah Mahendran and Thampeernayagam Rajaratnam, and two Sri Lankan men have pleaded not guilty to organizing the 2010 voyage of the MV Sun Sea, contrary to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Referring to one witness who testified earlier in the trial, Nohra said the migrant's identification of Mahendran could not be trusted. That is a question we really cannot answer. The question you're left with is, 'Did he pick out my client because he had actual memory of him or did he pick out my client because he had the image burned into his brain ' Nohra asked.
