Sri Lankan refugee, Suthan, despaired of ever being free again as he saw other detainees released from Baxter and resorted to desperate measures.
After Suthan fled the Sri Lankan civil war, he sought asylum in Australia. But without valid visa, he was taken immediately to immigration detention.
In 1995, during the Sri Lankan civil war, Suthan's mother sends him away. At the Columbo airport, Suthan is handed over to people smugglers.
