On January 6, the Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) said there had been a rise in major incidents of election violence between November 20 and January 5 whereas the number of incidents of election violence seemed to have dropped when compared to the previous elections, reports Daily Mirror. The CMEV Coordinating Secretary D.M. Dissanayake said it had documented 420 incidents of election violence with 237 categorised as major incidents while 183 as minor incidents. He said the highest number of major incidents was reported from Jaffna District with 22 incidents followed by Badulla, Kurunegala and Kandy with 19, 18 and 17 incidents respectively. Dissanayake said CMEV had recorded 26 incidents involving firearms and 03 incidents of petrol bombings. He said CMEV had recorded 132 incidents of gross misuse of State resources for election purposes with excessive use of State media by the incumbent and very limited airtime for opposition candidates.Dissanayake said a vast number of incidents of violence and flagrant violation of election laws were attributed to the ruling party where local politicians including local government members were involved. A large number of incidents of attacks had targeted opposition party offices and persons connected to said offices, he said. Dissanayake said the Police had been biased for the ruling party and said they had been inactive in arresting the suspects with most suspects arrested for election violence related incidents had been released without following due process. Pakiasothy Saravanamuttu from the CMEV at a media briefing held on January 6, said that concerns have been raised that voter intimidation on election day will lead to a low voter turnout, especially in the North, adds Colombo Page. Saravanamuttu said that communities and political leaders have raised concerns about the vote in the north in particular and about the deployment of security forces that could have an adverse impact on the voter turnout.

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) in its latest report said that Sri Lanka along with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan is among the ‘worst offenders’ in the region in protecting journalists in 2014-15, reports Daily Mirror on May 9. The report also advocated a strong need for a campaign to end impunity to ensure that those who abduct, attack or kill journalists were brought to justice. “While Sri Lanka did not experience any journalist deaths in the past year, several had close shaves. Even six years after the end of the war, the media in the Northern and Eastern Province of the island continue to face attacks and harassment,” the IFJ report said.

Despite Maithripala Sirisena Government’s repeated assertions of attaching priority to ethnic reconciliation in the country, the regime has been found to be “reluctant” in demilitiarising the Northern and Eastern Provinces where Tamils live in large numbers, according to a study conducted by United States (US) based policy think tank, Oakland Institute, reports The Hindu on May 29. According to the Institute, the study was carried out during the period of January 2014-April 2015 “with the knowledge but not the cooperation of the Sri Lankan government.” As part of the study, the organisation has prepared two reports, which were made public on May 28. The study criticized the four-month-old Government for operating with the “old mindset” in security related matters. One of the reports, “The Long Shadow of War,” states that “the new government’s reluctance to demilitarise the North and the East, and the continued stronghold over power by the Sri Lankan armed forces should be a major concern for international community, which for now is busy celebrating the new government and its talk of reconciliation.” Referring to the new President’s action of following his predecessor, Mahinda Rajapaksa, in entrusting the armed forces with police powers, the report mentions that this “does not bode well for a return to civilian administration.” The second report said that the Government has also not proposed a timeline or monitoring mechanism to ensure the release of Tamil political prisoners or return of lands to original owners in the Northern and Eastern Provinces. The report states that “since 2009, an absence of official figures on the number of Tamil detainees continues to torment families of the missing. The government estimates that nearly 300 people are being held without charge under the [Prevention of] Terrorism Act but Tamil leaders offer figures many times that.”

The National Fisheries Solidarity (NAFSO) movement organised a roundtable in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo on September 7, to discuss a report, titled “Let them come back to their places of origin in and with dignity”, the study centered on the situation in 38 refugee camps in 27 villages, reports Asia News. Completed in late August, the report indicated that about 35 camps have existed since the 1990s, but five of them were hitherto unknown. Some 1,536 families or 5,836 people live in the camps. However, about 30,000 people are still internally displaced on the Jaffna Peninsula. The island nation saw a brutal civil war between the government and Tamil Tigers [Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, LTTE]. The latter sought to create an independent state in the predominantly Tamil provinces of northern and eastern Sri Lanka. These areas bore the brunt of 30 years of bloody civil war between the army and rebels, and the civil war ended with the rebels’ defeat. NAFSO coordinator Lavina Hasanthi told Asia News that the overall picture of the situation is still incomplete because many displaced people are not registered at refugee camps. Some in fact prefer to live in makeshift tents near their original home. NAFSO president Herman Kumara, a special guest from the World Forum for Fisher People (WFFP), told Asia News that 55 per cent of those living in the camps do not have electricity, and 70 per cent do not have access to clean water. He also noted that lavatories are almost non-existent, and where they do exist, they are off-limits at night. "As human rights activists, all we can hope for is for our fellow citizens to lead a life based on dignity,” he said. “We anticipate that displaced people will go back to a normal life, on their land, revive their culture so as to contribute to the country’s economy. Above all, we want to see them get out of their currently subhuman conditions and start to lead a decent living.”

According to Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) sources, Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) printed in Pakistan are now pushed into India via Sri Lanka and the route for the fake currency printed in Bangladesh is through Malda District in West Bengal, The Hindu reports on September 18. Police have arrested about 50 suspects till now in 2015 for circulating FICN in Tamil Nadu and Chennai. “Around 25 cases have been registered and FICN worth INR 8,00,000 was seized from them,” said a Police source. Most of the suspects get the money in exchange for smuggling drugs, and sometimes even arms, into the country. “After this, they convert it into legal tender currency by buying goods,” a CB-CID officer said. “Only INR 52,000 was seized by us, but nearly INR 9,00,000 has already been circulated. What is worrying is that most of them are high-quality notes and it has been flowing into Tamil Nadu undetected through Sri Lanka for a long time. Such issues are being suppressed by different law enforcement agencies,” a Police source said. Apart from Sri Lanka, sources say that money exchangers outside Singapore and Malaysia airports are also pushing in some FICN into India, especially through Chennai. The Police have written to the Interpol seeking help to crack the network. “Some of the suspects said they had got currency from money exchangers outside the airport. We are coordinating with other agencies to collect details,” the officer added.

Chief Minister (CM) of Northern Province C.V. Wigneswaran in a letter addressed to the President Maithripala Sirisena has asked to grant amnesty to Tamil political prisoners still detained in jails six year after ending the war. Wigneswaran said that authorities either should file indictments without delay if there are any credible charges against those detained or should take immediate steps to release them. The CM expressed concern over the prisoners staging a fast to register their protest at their prolonged imprisonment as the protests may be dealt with violently by the prison authorities as happened in the past.

Maxwell Paranagama Commission tabled in Parliament on October 20 found that the principal reason for the loss of civilian life during the final phase of the war was the hostage taking and use of human shields by the LTTE, reports Daily News. The Commission has also found out that it was the LTTE who killed majority of Tamil civilians during the last 12 hours of the final stage of the war. The Commission rejected the suggestion that civilians were either targeted directly or indiscriminately by the Army as a part of an alleged genocidal plan.

The N K Udalagama Commission, which inquired into seven cases of grave violation of human rights at the beginning of Eelam War IV, has accused the Special Task Force (STF) of the Sri Lankan Police in the case relating to the killing of six Tamil students at the Trincomalee beach in the Eastern Province on January 2, 2006, reports The New Indian Express on October 24. In the case relating to the killing of 16 Tamils and 1 Muslim staff member of the French non-governmental organization (NGO) Action Centre La Faim (ACF) at Mutur in Trincomalee District on August 4, 2006, it blamed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). On the killing of the students, all between 20 and 21, it said: “There are strong grounds to surmise the involvement of uniformed personnel in the commission of the crime.” The report, which was tabled in Parliament on October 20, does not explicitly say that the STF had killed the students, but the narration of events clearly indicates the STF’s hand, possibly in collusion with the other armed forces personnel stationed in the highly guarded area.

Mahinda Rajapaksa reiterating his opposition to the resolution adopted by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva on October 25 said that the country is now faced with the most dangerous moment since independence in 1948, reports Colombo Page. Rajapaksa said as the former President and Commander in Chief, he is duty bound to explain to the public his views on this resolution and urged all parties in the island nation not to allow the passage of new laws aimed at persecuting members of its armed forces. "The government has co-sponsored the Geneva resolution without considering its implications and without informing parliament and appraising the people about it," Rajapaksa said.

The Government is planning to replace the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) with fresh legislation modeled on the Patriot Act of the United States, reports Daily Mirror on November 16. The PTA was used as a legal tool to deal with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorism at that time. However, there were criticisms by some sections over the retaining of the Act even after the war was over. Critics have dubbed it ‘a draconian piece of legislation’ that undermines individual freedom in the post war context. Accordingly, the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the Justice Ministry and the Legal Draftsman’s Department are working in this direction at the moment.
