Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) has released a Report entitled, "International Investigation Now - Systematic Ethnic Based Human Rights Violations of Tamils Escalateâ€, today, which it says is designed to highlight the need for an International Commission of Inquiry and to coincide with the current UN Human Rights Council Session and a draft Resolution released by the US.
Twelve Sri Lankan Tamils, arrested by the Kollam police on June 3 after they apprehended a human trafficking racket on a crude mechanised fishing boat at Kavanad here, were released from judicial custody on Saturday by F. Minimol, magistrate of the Judicial First Class Court-II here.
Police sources in Maduarai reported that Sri Lanka budget airline Mihin Lanka’s office in Madurai was attacked by pro Eelam Tamil activists. The Sri Lanka's state owned budget airline Mihin Lanka commenced flights to Madurai on 7 December 2012. Madurai was its 10th destination. The Airbus 321 with 212 seating capacity operating three days a week to Madurai benefits large number of relatives of Sri Lanka's Indian-origin plantation Tamils living in South India.
