UK Director of Human Rights Watch, David Mepham, published a short article by in the Independent on the continuous problematic deportation of Tamils. Again, the UK government has deported a group of Tamils to Sri Lanka, despite vast documentation provided by Human Rights Watch and other organisations on the country’s record of ill-treatment of the minority Tamil community. Human Rights Watch has acquired a growing body of evidence that the failed Sri Lankan asylum seekers face serious risks of torture upon return in their home country.
