Members of the Tamil community in Australia have condemned the federal government’s gifting of drones to Sri Lankan police, amid fears they could be used negatively against the country s ethnic minority.
Earlier this month, the Australian Border Force announced it had given Sri Lankan police five surveillance drones for use in “a wide range of activities” including natural disaster scene assessment and recovery, transnational crime investigation and countering maritime people smuggling.
The move has raised eyebrows and alarm, including from the Tamil Refugee Council, which fears the drones might be used to help prevent Tamils from fleeing Sri Lanka and to monitor political activists.
