CAT/C/56/D/591/2014 family home in 2010 and helped them to obtain passports. He submits that a foreign national of Tamil origin was introduced to him by the LTTE members. Prior to leaving Sri Lanka for India, the person asked the complainant to take care of his possessions and keep them at his place and he had agreed. There was some jewellery among the person’s belongings and, for safety reasons, the complainant gave the jewellery to another friend until the person came back. A week later, the complainant went to Batticaloa to visit his mother. When he came back to Negombo, he asked the friend to return the jewellery, but the friend refused, saying that if the complainant continued to insist that he return the jewellery, he would denounce him to the Criminal Investigation Department and accuse him of having links to the LTTE. In the meantime, the Investigation Department had learned that LTTE members had stayed at the complainant’s house. The complainant was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department on 17 September 2010. He was released three days later, when his father paid a bribe, and the Investigation Department told him to leave the country as soon as possible. He reiterates his story concerning his travel to Africa, his return to Sri Lanka, his uncle’s help and his hiding in a church until 30 January 2012, after he had returned to his village in June 2011, and was told that the Criminal Investigation Department was looking for him and he was advised by his mother to leave the village. 5.2 The complainant maintains that, since he is “a wanted person and not a recognized asylum seeker”, he will be detained in Sri Lanka upon return and he fears that he will be tortured and killed. He submits that he told the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Refugee Review Tribunal that he would be subjected to torture upon return to Sri Lanka, owing to his family’s and his own involvement with the LTTE. He notes that the current situation in Sri Lanka “illustrates how people who had connections with the LTTE had undergone severe torture at the hands of the police and army personals”. He claims that it is still happening even after the regime has changed. In that regard, the complainant states that a Tamil, who had recently been returned from Dubai, as well as six other Sri Lankans, who had been deported from Italy, were arrested and tortured in Colombo. He submits that he cannot provide any documents attesting to his arrest and detention, as the police did not “file the case”. He emphasizes that, as a young Tamil coming from a particular place in Sri Lanka, he fears being subjected to arrest and torture upon return. The complainant provides several publications about arrests, including at the airport, and killings of ethnic Tamils connected to or suspected of being connected to the LTTE. 5.3 The complainant further submits that, even though he was given the opportunity to make submissions before the Australian authorities, the respective authorities did not take into account the fact that his father was shot, nor did they request information about the circumstances of his father’s death or take into account the fact that his uncle was illtreated for helping him, among other things. In that regard, the complainant notes that he gave all the information concerning his risk of persecution and all the documents to support his claims. He also reiterates his arguments about the name of the church in which he had sought refuge until 30 January 2012. The complainant further refers to a report, which states that even if a deportee is released on bail, “either cash or personnel”, that person is not fully free nor has the freedom to live in his native place if it is in the north or east, because one of the bail conditions is to appear in court in the south (Negombo) at regular intervals. He notes that some of the cases have stretched over five years and during that period, the person cannot be employed or leave the country for any reason. 5.4 The complainant submits that he was detained in Sri Lanka in 2010 for about three days and that the police inquiry was mainly about the two people who had stayed at his house. He maintains that, as a result of the “assault and torture” he had endured while 9
