United Nations (UN) Under-Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman, during an official visit to Sri Lanka said on March 3 that the global institution is encouraged by the Sri Lankan new Government’s commitment to promote reconciliation, accountability and human rights and it is committed to assisting in the process of accountability and reconciliation in the island nation, reports Colombo Page.

A Sri Lankan court on March 10 released the Tamil woman activist, Balendran Jeyakumari who has been held in detention for nearly a year for allegedly harbouring a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) fugitive, reports Colombo Page. Acting Police Media Spokesperson, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ruwan Gunasekara said Colombo Magistrate Court released Jeyakumari on conditional bail after spending nearly a year in the Boossa detention camp. However, the Additional Magistrate has banned her from leaving the country as part of the bail conditions given to her by the Court. She is also required to report to police station closest to her residence every month, ASP Gunasekara said. The court also released six other activists along with Jeyakumari. Balendran Jeyakumari along with her 13-year-old daughter was arrested on March 13, 2014 in Kilinochchi in Kilinochchi District, Northern Province for allegedly sheltering an LTTE cadre, named Gopi, who shot a Police inspector in Kilinochchi during an arrest. Her daughter was handed over to Child Protection Services while the mother was sent to Boossa detention camp. The mother and daughter were active participants in most protests conducted by families of the disappeared in the Northern Province. Jeyakumari has led protest campaigns in the North demanding to find out what happened to the youngest of her three sons, who had joined the LTTE as a child soldier and went missing after he reportedly surrendered to the Sri Lankan Security Forces (SFs) at the end of the war. Her other two sons reportedly belong to LTTE, had been killed in the war. However, Tamil parties in the North say she was arrested for the involvement in protests to find missing persons.

Housing and Samurdhi Minister Sajith Premadasa said that Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Parliamentarians do not stand for a separate state and their purpose is to ensure fair and equal treatment for Tamils, reports Daily News on March 11. Minister Premadasa said some politicians make allegations against the TNA claiming that they supported President Maithripala Sirisena during the Presidential election to divide the country. This is a political lie used to mislead voters, he said. The Minister said that “Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) activists in London protest against TNA MPs Sampanthan and Sumanthiran by burning their effigies. Even TNA MPs have accepted the unitary nature of the state.” "If Sampanthan and Sumanthiran wished to see a separate State and supported Maithripala Sirisena to fulfill this purpose, it is a big question for us as to why LTTE supporters in the United Kingdom (UK) are protesting against them? The cat is out of the bag and the truth is revealed. The TNA MPs do not demand for a separate state. They only want equal treatment for Tamils," said the minister. Minister added that according to the Constitution, no citizen should be discriminated against on the grounds of race, religion, language, caste, sex, political opinion, place of birth or any such grounds and that every citizen has a right to be considered equal.

Wigneswaran said that the Indian PM Narendra Modi had "planted a very positive idea" in the minds of those at the Central Government in Sri Lanka, reports The Hindu on March 15.

The arrest at the Colombo Airport last week of a former woman ‘Sea Tiger’, Murugesu Jayaganesh Pakeerathy has exposed new global Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) financing networks with continued links in Sri Lanka, reports Sunday Observer on March 15. The husband of Murugesu Jayaganesh Pakeerathy lives in France and is identified as the main financial controller of the LTTE’s diaspora-based global finance networks. The husband, Subramaniam Jayaganesh, is suspected to be still maintaining close ties with the former Tiger leader and key ‘banker’ Kumaran Pathmanathan alias ‘KP’ who was the LTTE’s main global funds coordinator. ‘KP’ currently lives in Sri Lanka following his arrest in Malaysia and controversial ‘rehabilitation’ by the previous regime despite many serious charges relating to terrorism arraigned against him. The sources said that the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID), which is currently questioning Murugesu found these international financial linkages. This has prompted a fresh probe into possible international LTTE financing networks that may still be linked with Colombo, Police sources said. Murugesu was arrested by TID officers at the Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo as she attempted to leave the country for France. Colombo Additional Magistrate Aruni Artigala granted bail to her on March 13. She has also been asked to report to the police station every fortnight. Meanwhile, the court case against KP, arising out of a petition filed by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuṇa (JVP), will be taken up by Court of Appeal this week, adds Sunday Observer. At the last hearing, Justice Vijitha Malalagoda, asked for more information about KP’s global links.
