Four Tamil asylum-seekers have been released from police custody amid a terrorism investigation, writes Phil Miller.
The men tried to claim asylum when their international flight landed at Luton airport on 10 April evening.
They told airport authorities that they face persecution in their native Sri Lanka over “connections” to the outlawed Tamil Tigers.
They were held in a Bedfordshire police station and released without charge on 12 April.
That same day the Met Police published a press release announcing the arrests.
But it took until this afternoon for the force to announce their release without charge following repeated queries by the Morning Star.
Detectives say their enquiries into the men continue.
