Thirteen Sri Lankans who attempted to travel to Australia illegally by boat have been deported today (15) by Australian authorities.
It is reported that these persons had left the island as a group on a multi-day fishing trawler. They are residents of Chilaw.
The group had arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport at around 6:30 am.
They have been handed over to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) unit at the airport by Immigration officials for further investigations.
