From daily The Morning Star in Britain:
Fears for victim of torture spark rally
Friday 12th June 2015
CAMPAIGNERS in Yorkshire will protest outside Home Office buildings in Sheffield today over the threatened deportation of a 22-year-old torture victim from Sri Lanka.
Supporters say Janahan Sivanathan, a Tamil living in Doncaster, was “horrendously tortured” in captivity in 2009, during Sri Lanka’s civil war, when he was a school student.
They are demanding he be allowed to stay in Britain.
Protest organiser Alistair Tice said: “There was a genocide against Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009, with 100,000 killed or missing.
“The Foreign Office’s latest report on Sri Lanka found that there were continued allegations of police involvement in torture and custodial deaths, as well as in extrajudicial killings throughout 2014.”
Mr Sivanathan is to report to the Home Office today. The last time he did so, he was detained. The protest is at 1.30pm.
