Fear of persecution at home is driving thousands of Tamil Sri Lankans to risk dangerous boat rides in the hope of gaining asylum in western countries.

Two separate boats carrying a total of over 300 Tamils were recently detained. They were trying to reach Australia and Canada.

The Tamil Tigers rebels or the LTTE lost a 30 year fight for a separate homeland for their community five months ago.
