On July 2, a group of 1000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) returned to their original homes in Ampara District after seven years, according to Colombo Page. This is the first Government-organized return movement in the District in seven years. Originally hailing from two areas in the Thirukkovil division in Ampara, these IDPs were on the move since 1990 due to the conflict, until they returned to their villages following the 2002 cease-fire. However, they were once again displaced by the escalation in violence in the East in 2006 and have since been staying with friends and relatives in areas nearby, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said.

Eastern Province Minister of Health, M. L. A. M. Hisbullah, said he distributed 600 weapons to villagers to be used to defend the Muslims from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). He said he received them from the late President R. Premadasa and distributed them a day after an incident of massacre in Kathankudy in August 1990. “We never kept these weapons to fight the security forces. We used them to fight against the Tamil Tigers.” The State run weekly Sunday Observer quoted Hisbullah as saying that Muslims did not need a separate political party but should remain part of the mainstream political parties to achieve their political aspirations and legitimate rights. He also denied recent reports about the presence of a Islamist militant movement in the Eastern Province.

In response to the Government’s appeal, Islamic militants surrendered their weapons to the Police in the evening of July 4 at a ceremony held at Meera Jumma Mosque in the Kattankudi area of Batticaloa District, reports Sri Lanka Army. The weapons included 16 T-56 weapons, four 303 rifles, one shotgun, one 84-S weapon, one 9-mm pistol, one SMG KR weapon, five Galkatas weapons, 16 hand grenades, 1076 rounds of 7.62 x 39-mm ammunition, one hundred and six rounds of 303 rifles ammunition, 19 rounds of 84-S ammunition, 19 rounds of 9-mm ammunition, six rounds of 38-mm ammunition, two rounds of bore-12 ammunition, 25 T-56 magazines, five 303 rifles magazines, two 9-mm magazines and parts of a bore-12 weapon. The former militants surrendered their weapons through the Association of Muslim Mosques, the military said on July 5, The Hindu adds. The period granted for armed groups in the Eastern Province to hand over their weapons ended at 3:00pm on July 4. Receiving the weapons, Deputy Inspector General of Police (Eastern Province) Edison Gunatilake described the event as “historic” and called for the surrender of all such weapons. Quoting Gunathilake, the English weekly Lakbima said a joint military operation would be launched to track down arms and ammunition in the hands of the “jihadist groups in the East, after the extended deadline given for the hand over of the weapons lapsed”. It quoted Gunathilake as saying the response from the Muslim armed groups to the Government’s call to hand over weapons was poor. The weekly further quoted him as saying that intelligence reports reveal Islamist militants possess 250 T-56 assault rifles, a fraction of which had been handed over on July 4. 18 armed groups have been identified in the Eastern Province and these groups are reported to be holding more than 400 firearms.

One soldier was killed when he attempted to arrest a former Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader from Batticaloa District, identified as Nallarathnam Mohan, overboard a boat in the Kirankulam seas in the morning of July 4, according to a Sri Lanka Army report. “An army soldier had spotted this suspicious boat with one man on board and tried to search it after talking to the boatman,” said Army in a statement, reports The Hindu. Two other soldiers opened fire and overpowered the boatman who sustained injuries and was admitted to hospital, said the Army. Troops later recovered four passport photographs, one Identity Card, one cyanide capsule and SLR 16,500 in cash from the possession of the arrested militant, Colombo Page added.
