Original Toronto Star caption: Long wait: A group of East Indian refugees sit pondering an uncertain future on the lawn of a Halifax military base yesterday. They were let out of the stuffy gymnasium where 174 have been held since landing Sunday; but remained confined behind chainlink fence. Two lawyers representing Canadian Sikhs arrived today to talk with refugees and officials about their fate.
