Tamils suffer discrimination: Canadian court
[TamilNet, September 29, 1997]

Whilst ruling on the case of Mr. Suresh Manickavasagam, the presiding
Judge said that in his opinion the Tamil people suffered from
discrimination. The Judge did not rule on the LTTE itself, saying he was
not in a position to pass judgment on the conflict in Sri Lanka. During
the case, the Judge had been presented with evidence of gross human rights
violations by successive Sri Lankan governments against the Tamil people.
