50 UK asylum seekers arrive at BIA: gives lie to C-4 news stunt
Giving lie to certain controversial British news reports the group of 50 Sri Lankans who were deported from UK have arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport this morning (Sep 29, 2011). According to our defence correspondent at the BIA, 42 men and 8 women were among the deported asylum seekers who had arrived.
However, Channel-4 the cynical British media station yesterday (Sep 28) reported, "a UK court judge had held the deportation of failed asylum seekers to Sri Lanka". In yet another attempt to fulfill its debt to LTTE financial rumps, the Channel-4 media outlet pegged a news titled, 'Last-minute court order halts Sri Lankan deportation' by Jonathan Miller, its Foreign Affairs Correspondent on Thursday.
At the time of reporting the deported asylum seekers were engaged with Airport authorities following clearance formalities.
