Dec 09, 2015
Today marks the fourth year of the disappearance of the human rights activists Lalith Kumar Weeraraj and Kugan Muruganandan in Jaffna. Both Lalith & Kugan left Kugans house on December 9th on a motor bike and never returned home on a day before the international human rights day to organize a media discussion.
Lalith & Kugan who was a full time member of the JVP left the organization and joined the Peratugami Socialist Party. Kugan Muruganandan was a person who was earlier had links with the LTTE and later resigned. Following the end of the war both these activists were promoting human rights under a very strong military occupation.
However following the disappearance the former media minister Keheliya Rambukwella said both Lalith and Kugan are under custody.
Since a court case going on in search of Lalith and Kugan Keheliya Rambukwella’s statement is a significant factor. However a warrant was issued against Keheliya failing to appear before the courts twice. Although this disappearance was highlighted during the last president election against the Rajapaksa regime now the people campaigned has forgotten the issue.
The pain of the death caused by murder is long lasting for the people who lived with them only. At a time when their partners too forget them it is their families who tear for them till last.
