Description

On 19th September, the Mullaitivu Magistrate court rejected a similar submission jointly made by Puthukudiyiruppu, Mullaitivu, and Mulliyawalai Police stations in Mullaitivu district in the Northern Province, requesting an injunction order against the memorial float. The court denied the claims made by Police that the float would pose a threat to peace, promote discord amongst ethnicities, and create an atmosphere conducive to LTTE’s resuscitation. The court reaffirmed the right of the Tamils to memorialise Thileepan and dismissed the petition.
