CCPR/C/115/D/2258/2013 5. The majority of the Committee did not point to any procedural flaw, failure to consider an important piece of information or lack of motivation of the decision to deport. More specifically, we do not find a basis in the case file, including in the current reports found in the public domain cited in paragraph 7.7 of the Views, to regard the conclusion of the authorities of the State party that individuals such as the authors, who were not highprofile LTTE activists and were not related to such high-profile activists, as arbitrary or amounting to a manifest error or denial of justice. In fact, we are of the view that, had there been new relevant information in the current reports, the proper course of action for the Committee would have been to suspend its proceedings and request the parties’ comments on the said reports before drawing any factual conclusions therefrom. 6. We therefore respectfully dissent from the position taken by the majority of the Committee in the present case. 13
