AN AUSTRALIAN doctor and human rights activist has been deported from Singapore.
Brian Senewiratne, 81, was on his way to Malaysia, where he was to give two talks about the situation in Sri Lanka, and the factors influencing Sri Lankans to seek asylum.
He landed in Singapore on Friday and planned to travel by road to the Malaysian city of Johor Bahru, but was refused entry to Singapore.
After being kept in an interview room at the airport for four hours, he was escorted by an armed guard to a flight which returned him to Brisbane late on Friday night. Full story
