A pro-Rajapaksa Sinhala organisation which had previously filed court petitions seeking Sri Lanka’s withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council resolution, filed a complaint against TNA spokesperson and MP M A Sumanthiran for allegedly rejecting the concept of a unitary state.
The organisation called the ‘Truth Seekers Movement’ filed the complaint at the Sri Lankan police headquarters claiming that Sumanthiran was ‘unfit’ to serve as a member of parliament and as an attorney-at-law, due to his rejection of the unitary state. The group made the claims after five Tamil political parties signed a memorandum rejecting a unitary state and calling for the establishment of a federal Tamil state.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
