David Poopalapillai, spokesman for the Canadian Tamil Congress, said he was expecting to hear that some of the migrants — who arrived on the British Columbia coast in August — may have connections to the Tamil Tigers. "But we are surprised at the war crimes announcement."
The accused man is now being held in detention in the Vancouver area. His name cannot be published under a court ban.
The Canadian Press reported Wednesday that an officer for the Canada Border Services Agency said that officials ruled the man inadmissible to Canada.
