Application no. 25904/07 by NA against the United Kingdom lodged on 21 June 2007
The applicant, NA, is a Sri-Lankan national who is currently detained in Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre.
The facts of the case, as submitted by the applicant, may be summarised as follows.
As to his other expressed fear of the LTTE, it was found that it was unlikely that the LTTE would still have any interest in him and if he was settled in Colombo it would be unlikely that they could track him down. In any event, he could apply to the authorities for protection. As to his argument that he was in need of psychiatric treatment, it was found that adequate treatment would be available in Sri Lanka.
He was issued with removal directions for 1 April 2006 and made further representations attempting to lodge a fresh asylum application on 29 March 2006. On 3 April 2006 the Secretary of State refused to consider his further representations as a new asylum application. The general situation in Sri Lanka did not indicate any personal risk of ill-treatment and there was no evidence that he would be personally affected upon return. The fact that he had been away from Sri Lanka for the past 7 and a half years suggested that he would hardly be of any interest to the Sri Lankan authorities.
