MV Sun Sea is a Thai cargo ship that brought 492 Sri Lankan Tamils into British Columbia, Canada, in August 2010.[1][2] Following their arrival, the passengers—seeking refuge in Canada after the Sri Lankan Civil War—were transferred to detention facilities in the Lower Mainland,[3] for which the Canadian Government would garner heavy criticism from various Canadian advocacy groups.[4]
