The “Q” branch police yesterday arrested six Sri Lankan Tamil refugees on the charge of planning to embark on an illegal boat journey to New Zealand.

They were secured when they assembled near a school in the city to chalk out a plan for the boat journey. They were identified as K. Jayaraj (34) and A. Chandrakumar (36) of Sri Lankan camp at Rayanur in Karur district, C. Pradeepan (27), R. Prabu (25) and M. Pradeep (21) of Sri Lankan camp in Kottapattu and S. Sreshwararaja (34) of Irubuthipatti in Karur district, sources said.

Jayaraj was said to be the kingpin of the plan. He had collected Rs.1 lakh each for arranging the boat ride, sources added. (The Hindu)

Still in a camp after all these years. How frustrated and desperate these young men in their prime must be. Little wonder they are looking abroad for some kind of future.
