Description

MV Sun Sea is a Thai cargo ship that brought 492 Sri Lankan Tamils into British Columbia, Canada, in August 2010. Following their arrival, the passengers—seeking refuge in Canada after the Sri Lankan Civil War—were transferred to detention facilities in the Lower Mainland, for which the Canadian Government would garner heavy criticism from various Canadian advocacy groups.
