The Supreme Court on August 5 issued an interim order suspending the implementation of regulations issued by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), regulations No. 01 of 2021 which was published on March 12, 2021, reports Colombo Page. This Interim Order will be effective until the next hearing date on August 24. The Supreme Court issued the interim order after considering three fundamental rights petitions filed by a group of journalists and human rights activists seeking an injunction restraining the implementation of the regulations. The petitioners allege that the regulations pose a serious threat to their personal freedom as they are in direct violation of Articles 10, 11, 12.1, 12.2, 13.1, 13.2, 13.4, 13.5, 13.6, 13.1 (b), 14.1 (d) and 17 of the Constitution.

Courts have banned several remembrance events for Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres in the North planned by some of organisations and political parties, reports Daily News on November 19. Accordingly, Police in the North have taken steps to ban all such events by a number of Tamil political parties and organizations in the North, including the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), from November 21 to 27.

The Mullaitivu Police has already obtained a court order prohibiting the holding of ceremonies within the jurisdiction of the Mullaitivu Magistrate courts. Arrangements had been made to hold 12 such events in the Mullaitivu area. The Police have made the organisers aware about the restraining order from the court.

On November 24, the European Union (EU) General Court dismissed an application brought by the European Political Subdivision of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to annul the 2019 and 2020 acts maintaining the inclusion of the LTTE on the EU’s terrorist sanctions list, reports Colombo Page. The Court said the Council could rely on the decision by the UK Home Secretary in 2001 to list the LTTE because the Government was a ‘competent authority’ for these purposes and the EU had a duty to review whether the 2001 assessment still justified the listing in 2019. The Court found that the EU had sufficiently justified the listing in 2019 – 2020 and rejected the argument that the LTTE could not be classified as a ‘terrorist organization’ for the purposes of Article 1(3) of Common Position 2001/931.

The Colombo High Court on December 2 acquitted former Western Province Governor Azad Salley from the case filed against him for allegedly making a controversial statement at a press conference that violated inter-ethnic harmony, reports Daily News. Announcing the judgement before open Court, Colombo High Court Judge Amal Ranaraja acquitted the accused of all charges, giving the defence the benefit of the doubt as the charges against him had not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
