Twenty five Sri Lankan asylum seekers who were deported from Australia arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) this morning.

Airport officials said four women were among the deportees, who had flown to Malaysia and attempted to migrate to Australia illegally.

The Sri Lankan asylum seekers were handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the airport.(T.K.G.Kapila)

    Why take them to custody .They were like many others before them and now have to face a review situation in Australia not in their favour .Please let these people who suffered so much due to taking the only way possible to get out of the country .They could not go as students etc and stay back and chose this way on the advice of some broker who made money off them .Let them go home and be counseled to get out of this failure to their aspirations and come back to the reality of life around them
