  Europe which has a total population of 800 million is made up of 45 language based nation states. South Asia which has a total population of one billion, (1000 million) is comprised of four states. Who is preventing and therefore benefiting by limiting new nation-states in South Asia?

Navy harassing fishermen at Chulipuram Thiruvadinilai coastal region

Chulipuram Alaimahal fishermen cooperative society has lodged a complaint about Sri Lankan Navy’s increased harassment of the fishermen, with the Human Rights Commission at its Jaffna office.

In recent times the Navy has been refusing to let people go into their own land to collect firewood. It is also applying the pass system to permit fishermen to go to sea more restrictively. As a result there is tension between the Navy and the fishermen in this area.

The Navy chief has complained to the police about this. Vaddukoddai police has asked the fishermen society to come to the police station to hold an inquiry. Fishermen of that area have told their society that they will not go to the police station.

The complaint lodged with the human rights commission by the society has stated that there is heightened tension over the last two days because the Navy has refused to let the fishermen go to the sea.

A copy of the complaint has been sent by the fishermen society to the SLMM office as well.
