REFUGEE advocates have condemned the Federal Government's apparent attempts to prevent a group of Sri Lankan boat people claiming asylum in Australia.

The 85 men – 83 Sri Lankans and two Indonesians – were rescued by an Australian navy ship in international waters near Christmas Island this week after sabotaging their fishing boat.

It had been expected that many would apply for asylum in Australia and be taken to Nauru or Christmas Island for processing.

But it was reported today the Government had struck a secret deal with Jakarta and Colombo to send the asylum seekers back to Sri Lanka via Indonesia.

The policy would be an even more hardline approach than the Howard Government's Pacific solution, introduced amid the Tampa episode in 2001, whereby asylum seekers are sent to offshore detention centres to have their claims determined.

Jakarta is not a signatory to the United Nations Refugee Convention, meaning the Sri Lankans may not be able to claim asylum if they are sent to Indonesia.

Project SafeCom, a West Australian refugee advocacy group, today said the deal would see Prime Minister John Howard ride roughshod over Australia's international obligations.

"(It) could well make John Howard into the United Nations' High Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) most wanted criminal, if breaches against the United Nations Refugee Convention had criminal charges attached to them," said spokesman Jack Smit.

Democrats senator Andrew Bartlett urged the Government not to send the men back to Sri Lanka, where civil war rages between the military and Tamil Tiger rebels based in the country's north.

Senator Bartlett said the group of men could include Tamil people whose lives could be in danger if they were returned to Sri Lanka.

"Tamil people (are) at great risk of harassment, intimidation, arrest, detention, torture, abduction and killing," he said."[/b]The fact that the Government could even contemplate sending asylum seekers back without proper assessment is a complete and utter disgrace."
