Urteil E-6220/2006 vom 27. Oktober 2011
This decision by the Federal Administrative Court updates the Court's decision of 14 February 2008 (Tribunal administratif fédéral ATAF 2008/2). It states that political opponents, critical journalists, human rights activists, critical NGO representatives, as well as victims of or witnesses to serious human rights violations and persons who are presumed to have close contacts to the LTTE represented groups are still at risk of persecution in Sri Lanka. In general, returns to Sri Lanka including the East and North are considered reasonable, with the exception of Vanni region where no returns should take place. For persons who left the northern province some time ago, the existence of social network and chances for securing minimal living conditions should be considered. 27 October 2011 | Judicial Body: Switzerland: Tribunal administratif fédéral | Topic(s): Deportation / Forcible return - Involuntary repatriation - Rejected asylum-seekers | Countries: Sri Lanka - Switzerland |
