Sri Lanka releases three more fishermen
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Three more fishermen from Tamil Nadu, apprehended by the Sri Lankan Navy for entering the island’s waters, were released on Friday.
The Magistrate’s Court of Mallakam in the island nation ordered the release of the three fishermen and their boats, according to a press release from the Sri Lanka Deputy High Commission.
This followed requests by the Government of India and Tamil Nadu Government. They would be handed over to the Indian High Commission in Colombo, which would arrange their repatriation to India in consultation with the island’s authorities.
The three were among 31 fishermen apprehended by the island’s navy on January 2 for entering a high-security zone between Point Pedro and Kankesanthurai seas. Twenty-eight fishermen with their boats were released almost immediately. The Sri Lankan Navy repatriated them with their boats in coordination with the Indian Coast Guard.
In view of the Pongal festival and based on the long-standing cordial relations between the two countries , the Sri Lankan Deputy High Commission made a representation before the Government of Sri Lanka, resulting in the case being withdrawn.

CFA abrogation will not halt aid flow
The abrogation of the Ceasefire Agreement will not affect the foreign aid flow as the LTTE has been perpetrating terrorist activities even though the Government tried its best to protect the Agreement, said Media Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardana yesterday.
The LTTE has violated the Ceasefire Agreement 3,743 times according to the reports of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission, Minister Abeywardana told a news conference yesterday.
The LTTE assassinated the then Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar, Maj. Gen. Parami Kulatunga, Deputy Commissioner General of Peace Secretariat K. Logeshwaran and MP T. Maheshwaran before the Ceasefire Agreement was abrogated.
In addition the LTTE has brought ‘bomb lorries’ to Colombo to cripple normal life.
They attacked the Air Force camp in Anuradhapura before the abrogation. Hence it is clear that the LTTE had been involved in terrorist activities while the Government protected the CFA.
The Minister pointed out that the LTTE had been involved in arms smuggling during the Ceasefire Agreement period.
“Several LTTE ships which were loaded with arms were destroyed by the Navy before the Ceasefire Agreement was abrogated. Then there is no use of protecting such an agreement,” the Minister said.
“The ceasefire agreement was dead long before,” he stressed. The abrogation would not be a hindrance for peace talks. It will also not affect the rights of the Tamil people.
Regarding media freedom, Minister Yapa said the Government has taken every possible step to safeguard the rights of journalists while protecting media freedom since the Government always stands for journalists and free and fair journalism.
Speaking on the police raid at the house of journalist Poddala Jayantha, he said the police had gone to the house to get some information regarding a person.
The police didn’t have any intention of harassing Poddala other than getting some information since the police haven’t known the house belonged to him, the Minister said,
