United States federal judge in New York on May 11 sentenced a top Tamil Tiger, who pleaded guilty to terrorism charges, to time served in jail and freed the man, reports Colombo Page. The defendant, Karunakaran Kandasamy (55), had pled guilty to among others, a charge of conspiring to provide material support to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). A District Court document says Kandasamy was the director of the American branch of the LTTE, which operated through charitable front organizations, including the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO) and oversaw and directed the LTTE's various activities in the U.S, including raising millions of dollars for the LTTE and laundering it through the TRO. According to a court document, a single spreadsheet of priority items to purchase, totalled $20 million in arms and equipment, and included, among other things, 25mm Anti Aircraft Guns, 30 mm Twin Barrel Mounted Naval Guns, thousands of automatic rifles, grenade launchers, 50 tons of C4 explosive, and other weapons, were found from his colleague Vijayshanthar Patpanathan, another LTTE suspect, who pled guilty at the same time as Kandasamy, has assisted him and others in these fundraising and money laundering activities. They were pleaded guilty on June 9, 2009. The court, however, while announcing sentence expressed doubts that Kandasamy was involved in raising money for terrorism and believed the defendant's activities were humanitarian and not military.

On May 19, President Mahindra Rajapaksa said that the Sri Lankan Government will not remove any military camp from their current locations in the country as long as threats exist to national security, reports Colombo Page. "The military still has a key role to play, to secure the peace that has been won," he said adding that the troops are also involved in the development work. He noted that it is not advisable to remove any military camp or reduce the strength of the forces while threats to national security exist from overseas, especially from the Tamil Diaspora, who has not given up the Eelam dream yet. He dismissed the allegations that the military is involved in civilian administration in the North. Latest intelligence reports have revealed that the overseas pro- Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) groups and LTTE cadres who fled the country during and soon after the military operation are regrouping in Europe and Canada.

The 2011 country reports on human rights practices published by the United States (US) State Department claimed that unlawful killings by Security Forces (SFs) and Government-allied paramilitary groups are a major human rights problem in Sri Lanka, often in the predominantly TAMIL areas, reports Colombo Page. In addition, attacks on and harassment of civil society activists, persons suspected of being Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) sympathizers, and journalists, by persons allegedly tied to the Government created an environment of fear and self-censorship, the report says. The report also mentioned that the Sri Lankan Government prosecuted a very small number of officials implicated in human rights abuses but had yet to hold anyone accountable for alleged violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law that occurred during the conflict. The report recognized that although enforced and involuntary disappearances continued to be a problem, the number of such disappearances appeared to have declined from previous years.
