The Federal Migration Office is to suspend the return of asylum seekers to Greece, examining cases in Switzerland instead, while returns to Sri Lanka will be extended.

In its update, the Migration Office added that the security situation in Sri Lanka had clearly improved so that rejected asylum seekers from the north and west of the country could again be sent back, with the exception of those from the troubled Vanni region.

From June 2011, the Migration Office will begin to review on a case by case basis the status of Sri Lankan asylum seekers - currently numbering 2,200-granted provisional leave to remain in Switzerland.

Sending them back is putting their life in risk. The returnees won't get fair hearing here.
