Federal Court Of Canada Dept: Jothiravi Sittampalam is asking the Federal Court of Canada to reopen his case, saying his life is in danger because of the egregious conduct of the immigration and public safety ministers, according to The Star. Jackman also accuses Canadian officials of failing to disclose that they gave Sri Lanka information fingering Sittampalam as a fundraiser for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam a group that waged a bloody fight for an independent homeland. Sittampalam denies committing crimes to support the LTTE, or Tamil Tigers and oTTAWA A man deported to Sri Lanka is in hiding after being interrogated, and possibly tortured, in Colombo the result, says his Toronto lawyer, of an exaggerated news release from the Canadian government trumpeting his removal. In documents filed with the court, lawyer Barbara Jackman says the ministers put Sittampalam at risk by sensationalizing his deportation, especially since a government delegate had earlier concluded he would face no harm in Sri Lanka because his public profile had faded.
