Vinayagmoorthy
Muralitharan (aka Karuna Amman) was released yesterday
(08 May) following his imprisonment for possessing false
documents, contrary to Section 25 of the Control of Identification
Documents (Offences) Act 2005. He now remains under immigration
detention powers. This was revealed in a Press Release
put out by the British High Commission in Colombo.
The
press release further adds:
“We
have made clear our concerns at the circumstances by which
Karuna travelled to the UK.
We
are deeply concerned that Karuna and his faction have
allegedly been responsible for murder and abductions and
are still believed to be involved in intimidation and
child recruitment. The Crown Prosecution Service has advised
the Metropolitan Police Service that there is insufficient
evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction
for any criminal offences in the UK.”
In
the meantime, news reaching Asian Tribune from foreign
sources claim that Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan, former
leader of the Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal has been
transferred on 08 May from custody in Prison, having served
his sentence for breaching the UK's Immigration laws by
entering the UK carrying a forged Diplomatic Passport.
It
is learnt that British prison authorities have transferred
Karuna Amman to the UK's Border & Immigration Agency
and it is said that he is presently being detained at
an Immigration Detention Centre in the outskirts of London.
When the Press Office of the UK's Border & Immigration
Agency was contacted, a member of staff stated that they
do not comment on individual cases however the UK's Home
Office has released a statement that "Karuna Amman
will remain detained under Immigration Powers".
