Another ship with Tamil migrants : Canada suspects   [October 09 2010]

Canadian authorities using satellites are scanning the ocean to locate another ship suspected to be carrying Tamil migrants.

The Toronto Sun has reported that Canadian officials are investigating whether a another ship is attempting to ferry Tamils migrants from Sri Lanka to Canada.

Over 492 Tamil migrants who arrived on board the MV Sun Sea from Sri Lanka are detained in Canada and two ships including MV Sun, smuggled Tamils migrants to Canada.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced Canada will bring  a new law to deter illegal migrants.

 “ Existing laws in Canada did not go far enough to deter human trafficking and will increase in the years to come, unless we make significant changes to our law, to provide serious deterrents,” he said.

The authorities suspect that some ex- LTTEers are involved in human smuggling.
