The UK Border Agency is planning at least two charter flight mass deportations to Sri Lanka on 19 and 20 September. A stand-by legal group has been set for detainees facing removal.
More shocking evidence of torture in Sri Lanka has been published (14 Sept) by Freedom from Torture, highlighting the risk faced by Tamils returning to the country from the UK. The latest research relates to 24 people who were tortured in Sri Lanka after returning voluntarily from the UK since the end of the civil war in May 2009. Human Rights Watch has also issued a statement condeming the removals, calling for the United Kingdom to immediately suspend deportations to Sri Lanka of ethnic Tamils. “In its haste to be tough on failed asylum seekers, the British government is turning a blind eye to compelling evidence that Tamils deported to Sri Lanka risk torture on arrival,” said David Mepham, London director. HRW re-issued a document it sent on August 1 to the UK immigration minister detailing 13 cases of alleged torture of failed Tamil asylum seekers on return to Sri Lanka. All of these cases are supported by medical documentation.
