A group of Indian fishermen from Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, were remanded by the Mannar Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday for allegedly entering ‘Sri Lankan territorial waters’ and engaging in unauthorised fishing activities.

Krishanthi Kumaraswamy was an 18-year-old Tamil schoolgirl from Jaffna whose brutal rape and murder in 1996, along with the killing of her mother, younger brother, and a neighbour, became one of the most notorious atrocities of Sri Lanka’s genocide of Tamils.

Excavation teams at the Chemmani mass grave in Jaffna have recovered a child’s toy alongside the skeletal remains of children this week as exhumations continue.

United States Congressman Don Davis has called for an “independent international investigation and accountability” into the mass graves discovered in Chemmani, Jaffna, stressing that the ongoing uncovering of Tamil bodies is a “painful reminder of the atrocities committed against Tamils in Sri Lanka.”

The recent arrest of eight Tamil Nadu fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy has reignited anger in India, with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin writing to Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar once more.

Member of Parliament for Batticaloa District, R. Shanakiyan of the Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK), has condemned the Sri Lankan government for its continued failure to implement basic measures at the Chemmani mass grave, stating that the issue must be brought before the international community.

A legal challenge has been filed against Jaffna District Parliamentarian Dr Ramanathan Archchuna, questioning his eligibility to remain in office on the grounds that he continues to hold the status of a public officer - an allegation that, if proven, could result in his disqualification from Parliament.
