.@anuradisanayake says 2 groups are opposing legal reforms. 'One group is protected and funded by crime gangs. There is no point in reasoning with them,' he said. The second group consists of genuine rights advocates, with whom he is willing to negotiate.

"Thousands of Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim families still await the truth. Many surviving parents of the disappeared are elderly, impoverished and in declining health. Repeated assurances of justice to victims and the international community only to be followed by years of delay has made the OMP an exercise in attrition: a state apparatus designed not to resolve disappearances, but to outlast those demanding answers."

The saga of Sri Lankan state-sponsored demographic engineering continues in Mayilathamadu and Mathavanai, where the Sinhalization of traditional Tamil lands still persists under the guise of Mahaweli.

In July 1983, about thirty members of the JVP’s Central Committee met at a house near Tangalle and voted to drop the party’s support for Tamil self-determination. Two members voted against. One of them was Lionel Bopage, the party’s General Secretary.
On 31 October, at a convention of the NPP-affiliated National Intellectuals’ Organisation, a University of Jaffna lecturer told the audience that the ethnic conflict was “artificially created” by elite rulers, and that devolution could wait.
We went back through the record.

A stark example of this behavior is Sri Lanka's predominantly Sinhalese police force, which has not only extorted minority business owners but also shown active complicity by failing to intervene during ethnic riots.

NEW REPORT: The Battle of Ananthapuram.
ITJP’s new report, available in English and Tamil, documents survivor accounts, examines the last major battle of the war and points to an alleged massacre of more than 300 severely wounded Tamil fighters by the Sri Lankan Army in April 2009. Around 800 LTTE cadres, many already seriously wounded, were trapped and cut off from ammunition, medical supplies, food and water. Approximately 150 escaped. Hundreds of wounded fighters left behind have never been seen again.

An examination of the Office on Missing Persons’ records reveals thousands of missing names and unexplained discrepancies in official tallies of Sri Lanka’s disappeared, raising questions of whether this truth-seeking mechanism has become another instrument of impunity.

As I relative of this family, I can say, Gamini was a huge racist who ultimately led to the action of burning Jaffna library, one of the largest in Asia? And, to black July that tarnished the reputation of Sri Lanka forever.
I like Rehan, but some of your takes are terribad.
32 years since Gamini Dissanayake was assassinated by the LTTE.
A towering figure in Sri Lankan politics whose life and legacy remain part of our complex history. One cannot help but wonder what might have been🙏🏾
