The 13 year old daughter of the arrested disappearances campaigner, Balendran Jeyakumari, gained permission to see her mother in Boosa prison, reports Uthayan.
On March 31st Vipoosika's legal counsel requested permission for her to be able to visit her mother for the first time since they were both detained on March 13th, and to visit her home to pick up some belongings.
Vipoosika, who is currently being kept within a state children's home as state officials claim her mother was unable to provide a suitable relative to care for her daughter, was taken to her house by a juvenile probation officer, the president of the children's home she is currently placed in, and police officers.

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
