Expulsion of non-resident Tamils from Colombo
The expulsion of non-resident Tamils from Colombo was an incident which took place on June 7, 2007 when 376 ethnic Tamil refugees living in Colombo were deported from the city by the Sri Lankan Police.〔 〕〔 〕 The evicted were sent back to Jaffna, Vavuniya, Trincomalee and Batticaloa, where they are originally from, in several buses with a police escort. However the buses only went as far as the town of Vavuniya and the evicted Tamils were forced to stay in a detention camp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/EA3925AE-9EC5-4D7B-8140-DC7D87F0CAC6.htm )〕 The President asked those who were evicted to come back to Colombo〔 and ordered an investigation into the incident
== Background to the Expulsion ==
The Tamil militant Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam organization (the LTTE or the "Tamil Tigers"), which is banned as a terrorist organization in 32 countries including the United States, Canada and member nations of the European Union, has carried out numerous bombings in Colombo, the largest city in Sri Lanka, over the course of the Sri Lankan Civil War.〔(Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Sri Lanka, separatists) - Council on Foreign Relations )〕 The breakdown of the Norwegian-backed peace process saw an increase in IED explosions and suicide bombings, attributed by the Sri Lanka Police, to the LTTE in Colombo. In May 2007, at least three such explosions took place in the city, including an attack on a military vehicle that killed seven civilians and one police officer.〔(Roadside bomb kills seven near Sri Lanka military base )〕 Police investigations identified that those responsible for a number of these bombings had temporarily lived in and planned their attacks from low budget lodges in the city.〔(OCCUPATION OF LODGINGS )〕 The Sri Lanka Police said that, for instance, there were occasions where some individuals had lived in these lodges for over six months on the pretext that they had come to obtain their passports, which could be obtained in as little as one day.〔''Department of Immigration and Emigration,'' ( Passport fees )〕
Therefore the Sri Lanka Police said:
"Temporary occupants who cannot provide valid reasons for their stay in the Colombo area will be sent back to their homes"
