Arson at Toronto Buddhist Temple

SRI LANKAN CANADIANS AGAINST TERRORISM

PRESS RELEASE BY E-MAIL (NOVEMBER 30TH 2009)

Re. Arson at Toronto Buddhist Temple

For the second time there has been arson against Toronto Maha Vihara (Buddhist Temple) in Scarborough, Ontario. This temple is a landmark of Toronto and contains true architectural heritage of Sri Lankan culture and Buddhism and linked to all Sri Lankans living in Toronto as their main cultural centre.

First arson against Toronto Maha Vihara took place on May 2009 just after the death of Tamil Tiger terrorist leader in Sri Lanka and this second arson took place on 27th November 2009 while Toronto Tamil Tiger supporters are celebrating Tamil Tiger terrorist leader’s birthday.

We the members of Sri Lankan Canadians Against Terrorism requesting Canadian Security agencies to take special measures to investigate this incident as a “hate crime” against Sri Lankan community because of the above reasons.

There have been several hate crimes against Canadian Sri Lankan community by Tamil Tiger supporters in the past year, but none of those crimes were investigated to the level of arresting the perpetrators. We urge Canadian Security agencies not to allow this investigation go in vain as there are hundreds of well trained hardcore Tamil Tigers terrorists have entered to Canada using generous Canadian immigration laws and will definitely be a threat to Canadian security in the future.

We the members of Sri Lankan Canadians Against Terrorism do not want to see Canada as an another victim of Tamil Tiger Terrorism.

PRESS RELEASE

October 21, 2009,
Another ship arrived in Vancouver on October 17th 2009, with 76 Tamils claiming that they are coming from former war ravaged areas of Sri Lanka. A similar ship was captured by Indonesian Authorities on its way to Australia. There could be more ships heading our way originated from different locations claiming that they are coming from Sri Lanka.
According to information coming from Indonesia; authorities have already captured two (2) people who were connected to smuggling campaign and we urge Canadian Authorities to do the same. Indonesian authorities were also found out that the Australia bound ship was carrying Tamils, who were not originated their sea journey from Sri Lanka.
We, the members of Sri Lankan Canadians Against Terrorism (SLCAT) are requesting media and other organizations to be vigilant and look for the culprits behind these human smuggling campaign instead of finding another way to tarnish the image of Sri Lanka and her people.
Also we like to point out that there were some organizations based in Toronto which were preparing for this shipload of people, before even authorities were aware of its arrival into Canadian waters. We request Canadian authorities to inquire in to these organizations and find out what they knew about this ship, before it arrived in here; and what support they have given to these human smugglers to bring this ship in to Canadian waters.
Our concerns are the negative influence, that will affect the Canadian society and the damage it will result by suspected trained terrorists and killers reaching Canada under the disguise of reaching out to Canada as refugees/asylum seekers as done by these 76 seafarers supported by the human trafficking master minds of the banned LTTE and the so-called Tamil Community groups in Canada who are LTTE front operator organizations. Canada should prevent our next generation Tamils from the influence of such elements now.
