About 100 graves have been found in a former residential school in Canada. The discovery of the graves of hundreds of students in the country's former residential schools sparked criticism around the world. Then the students' graves were found again. Canada's small ethnic group, Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN), said on Tuesday.
The WLFN said in a statement that geological survey investigators had released information about the discovery of as many as 93 human graves in a residential school of the former St. Joseph's mission in the province of British Columbia. They searched 14 hectares of the school's 480 hectares and found these graves. The area is located 300 kilometers north of Kamloops in the province of British Columbia. In May, investigators found the remains of 215 children in Cam loops.
Since May, more than 1,000 benami graves have been found in former residential schools run for children of small ethnic groups. This incident brought to the fore the "dark chapter" of Canadian oppression of people of small ethnicity.
The WLFN said hundreds of residential schools were run for children of small ethnic groups through the St Joseph's Mission from 1886 to 1981. These schools were run as part of the Canadian government's plan to "educate" children of small ethnicity. Thousands of children read it.
WLFN chief Willy Sellers said in a statement: There is still a lot of work to be done in the areas of St. Jofes. We have a purpose behind continuing this work.
Earlier this month, the Canadian government announced 1.9 million Canadian dollars for searches around the st. Joseph's mission-run school. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday said the news of a possible burial had given rise to uncomfortable feelings after the new students were buried. "For the families who have lost their loved ones, those who will never return, my heart is hurt.
According to Canadian authorities, several investigations are underway in former residential schools. It is estimated that between 4,000 and 6,000 children went missing from residential schools at that time. From the 1800s to the 1990s, 139 residential schools across Canada enrolled 150,000 children of small ethnicity.
A commission called the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was set up in 2008 to look into the disappearance of children. According to a commission report published in 2015, many children did not return to their families. This policy was a "cultural genocide.

Police raid to catch 'fugitive' monkeys.
The operation of the security forces in search of the absconding accused takes place all the time. But police raids in search of escaped monkeys are rare. This is what happened in a state in the United States. They are on the lookout for four monkeys in the laboratory.
According to a BBC, report, hundreds of monkeys were being transported in a car to a laboratory in the US state of Florida. Monkeys of the long-tail macacas species are usually used for research purposes. But the monkey car collided with a dump truck on a highway in Pennsylvania. No one was injured in the incident, but four monkeys escaped after getting the opportunity. Now the police force has to run after that monkey.
