அவுஸ்திரெலியாவில் இருந்து திருப்பி அனுப்பப்பட்டவர்கள் கொழும்பில் கைது

திருப்பி அனுப்பப்பட்டவர்கள் எல்லோரும் சிங்களவர்கள் என நினைக்கிறேன். சிங்களவர்களையே கைது செய்யும் அரசு தமிழர்களை?

Deported asylum seeker arrested in Colombo- Australia

A Sri Lankan asylum seeker deported at the weekend has been arrested and charged with people smuggling in Colombo, the Age newspaper reported. Indika Mendis was among nine men flagged for forced deportation last week as the Government began returning people from Christmas Island to countries of origin against their will.

He failed to meet criteria for protection in Australia.

According to the Age newspaper in Australia the Australian Immigration Department confirmed the arrest and that it sought more information on its circumstances. It is alleged the man was beaten by police and was too frightened to speak.

''Whether someone has broken Sri Lankan law is something for the Sri Lankan courts to determine,'' a departmental spokesman said.

Mr Mendis was named as the skipper of a boat that sailed into Shark Bay, Western Australia, last November. But the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre's Pamela Curr said the real criminal was still at large.

When Daily Mirror online contacted police spokesman senior DIG Nimal Mediwaka over the report he was unable to confirm the specific case but said that it is normal procedure for any illegal asylum seeker deported back to the country to be arrested.

The police spokesman added that if there were any report of beatings or harrassment at the hands of Lankan officials he would have been made aware of it, but said that as such he had recieved no such information on the matter. (RR)
