Tear-Streaked Face: Cargo Ship and Mary Patrishiya

tear-streaked face: The jury found three other men not guilty, according to Vancouver Observer. Christhurajah's wife, Mary Patrishiya, sobbed outside the courtroom after learning the result of the bail hearing. Last week a jury was unable to reach a verdict in the case of Christhurajah, who is accused of organizing the voyage of the MV Sun Sea, a rickety cargo ship that transported 492 Tamil asylum seekers from Thailand to Canada in August 2010. I have no words, she said, covering her tear-streaked face with both hands. Christhurajah's six-year-old daughter was with her mother outside court on Thursday. I'm going to hug him, she added when asked about the first thing she would do when she saw her husband. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
