Sri Lanka Country Information Report No.13. Combined Refugee Action Group, Geelong (June 2024).
and accompanying Briefing Note Briefing Note No. 13 (June 2024)
This Country Information Report and Briefing Note outlines the recent changes in political and social context that make it unsafe for Tamil people seeking asylum in Australia to be returned to Sri Lanka. It considers the latest available information from a range of Sri Lankan news publications, international media coverage, reports published by human rights groups, and on-ground citizen journalists. These various information sources demonstrate the significant risk to personal safety faced by Tamils if returned to Sri Lanka, and that by doing so the Australian government would be breaching the rules of non-refoulement.
