Statement on Recent Arrival
of Tamil Refugees
August 16 2010
On August 14, 2010, 490 Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka arrived in BC’s waters aboard the MV Sun Sea. These refugees are fleeing war torn Sri Lanka, where in 2009 the government of Sri Lanka launched a war against the Tamil people who were fighting for their self-determination. These 490 Tamil refugees are part of hundreds of thousands of Tamils who were persecuted and detained by the government of Sri Lanka. Upon their arrival, they were met by Canadian military, RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency personnel and taken to jails while they await their immigration hearings.
