A representative of the Awami League (AL) chief and former Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina Wajed, on April 24 moved to file a writ petition with the High Court challenging the legality of the government press note imposing restrictions on her returning home.

I will do anything, whatever the movement asks me. I will do them OK."

A British Court froze all bank accounts of the London LTTE leader A.C. Shanthan alias Krishnatha Kumar and of his wife, according to Daily News. Britain's Anti-Terrorism Unit had filed 28 charges against Shanthan including extortion, operation of business enterprises, printing press and oil storages with ill-gotten wealth. Those employed at these enterprises were exclusively LTTE members, it was revealed. The money earned by these business ventures as at July 2 is reportedly 4 billion sterling pounds. The money thus earned had been utilised to purchase weapons from China and Israel to attack the Lankan Navy. Meanwhile, Goldan Lambert who was also arrested along with Shanthan is under house arrest. Lambert was arrested on charges of kidnapping for ransom and extortion. Another female LTTE cadre, identified as Pakyadevi, is reported to be absconding.

The Sri Lanka Supreme Court has granted leave to proceed to a petition calling for the abolition of the Norwegian-brokered cease-fire agreement (CFA) signed on February 22, 2002, by the Sri Lanka government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), according to BBC Sinhala. Chief Justice Sarath Nanda Silva said that a Prime Minister (PM) cannot sign important agreements "according to his will". The then PM, Ranil Wickramasinghe, had signed the CFA on behalf the Sri Lanka government, while the then President, Chandrika Kumaratunga, accused the PM of not informing her before signing the CFA. According to Sri Lanka's Constitution, the President holds executive powers while the PM is only a ceremonial post. The hearing was postponed to November 30. The Peoples Liberation Front and Jathika Hela Urumaya have requested the judiciary to abolish the CFA. The Supreme Court observed that currently the CFA only exists in the paper and it questioned the petitioners whether CFA is practically observed by both parties.
