  • Emergency Rule and Authoritarianism in Republican Sri Lanka
    6 An Eager Embrace: Emergency Rule and Authoritarianism in Republican Sri Lanka Deepika Udagama Introduction Much of Sri Lanka’s post-independence period has seen governance under states of emergency. The invocation of the Public Security Ordinance (PSO)1 by successive governments was a common feature of political life and, indeed, an integral aspect of the political culture of the republic. Several generations of Sri Lankans have grown up and have been socialised into political and public life in an environment fashioned by states of exception replete with attendant symbols and imagery. Images of police with automatic weapons, military check-points, barbed wire, lengthy periods of detention (often administrative detention) mainly of the political ‘other’, the trauma of political violence and the ever- present sense of fear became the ‘normal’. The state of exception has become the norm in Sri Lanka from the 1970s onwards. The permanency of the state of exception was further consolidated when the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act, No. 48 of 1979 (PTA) was converted into a permanent law in 1982.2 Although not an emergency regulation, the PTA conferred extraordinary powers on the executive branch (e.g. powers of arrest and detention) to deal with what it recognised as acts of terrorism. That in combination with the ever-present emergency powers, which were sanctioned by the Constitution, provided a formidable legal framework to entrench the state of exception. The omnipotence of the executive presidency created by the second republican constitution (1978) amplified the potency of those exceptional powers. Sri Lanka had become the quintessential ‘National Security State’, the vestiges of which have not been shaken off even five The author wishes to thank Ms.

It depends upon the conduct ofthe people that constitute the nation. We must recognize that the country does not mean just the lifeless soil around us. The country consists ofa conglomeration ofpeople and it is what they make ofit. To rectify the world and put it on proper path, we have to first rec­ tify ourselves and our conduct.... At the present time, when we see all over the country confusion, fear and anxiety, each one in every home must con­ ., tribute his share ofcool, calm love to suppress the anger and fury.

  • A Qualitative Analysis of Self-Harm and Suicide in Sri Lankan Printed Newspapers
    Research Trends A Qualitative Analysis of Self-Harm and Suicide in Sri Lankan Printed Newspapers Jane Brandt Sørensen1 , Melissa Pearson2, Gregory Armstrong3, Martin Wolf Andersen1, Manjula Weerasinghe4, Keith Hawton5, and Flemming Konradsen1 1Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 2School of Clinical Sciences and Community Health, The University of Edinburgh, UK 3Nossal Institute for Global Health, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Australia 4Faculty of Medicine and Allied Sciences, Rajarata University of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka 5Centre for Suicide Research, University of Oxford, UK Abstract. Background: Media reporting may influence suicidal behavior. In-depth exploration of how self-harm and suicide are portrayed in newspaper articles in a middle-income country such as Sri Lanka is lacking. Aims: We aimed to explore how self-harm and suicide are portrayed in Sri Lankan printed newspapers. Method: Seven English- and Sinhala-language Sri Lankan newspapers were screened for articles reporting on self-harm and suicide (December 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015). A thematic analysis was conducted. Results: In the 78 articles identified for analysis, certain aspects were overemphasized (inappropriate behavior) and others underemphasized (alcohol and complexities of self-harm). Explanations of self-harm were one-sided and a suicide prevention narrative was lacking. Limitations: Another time-frame and inclusion of Tamil newspapers as well as social media and online publications would provide additional understanding. Conclusion: The study found an indication of simplistic reporting. Greater focus on prevention and a nuanced portrayal of self-harm could reduce stigma and imitative behavior. Keywords: self-harm, suicide, media, Sri Lanka, thematic analysis Self-harm and suicide constitute a significant global pub- rates peaked in the 1990s and have since declined (Knipe, lic health problem (World Health Organization [WHO], Chang, et al., 2017).

January 2, 2014 - Thalgaswala, Galle District: The beef stall at Thalgaswala Weekly Fair closes down. The principal of Nagoda Sri Sunnanda Vidyalaya and the Viharadipathi (chief monk) of the Thalgaswala Buddhist Centre Ven. Welwea Sujaatha were instrumental in executing this. He obtained the tender bid for 325,000 at the Pradeshiya Sabha call for tenders. Subsequently they cleansed the beef stall with milk and with the Blessings of the Maha Sangha closed down the beef stall‟s business on January 1st. According to the Nagoda Pradeshiya Sabha President there are about 500 consumers in this area. He said that the large companies are supplying packetted frozen meat to the shops in the area; by closing down the beef stall it is not going to reduce the consumption of meat in the area.

KEELE SOME DESCRIPTIONS OF LEPROSY IN THE ANCIENT MEDICAL LITERATURE OF CEYLON* INTRODUCTION A number of sailing ships under the command of Don Lourenco de Almeida sought sanctuary in a little bay on the west coast of Ceylon on 15 November 1505, having been blown off course while on their way to the Maldive Islands. This little bay was destined to be the modem Colombo harbour, and the chance arrival ofthe Portuguese in Ceylon in 1505 was to change the- course of the island's history as few events have done before, or since. The population of Ceylon at that time consisted of the Sinhalese, a minority of Tamils who occupied the Jaffna Peninsula in the north, and a largely 'floating' popu- lation ofArabs who were there chiefly for purposes oftrade. They were not unused to such visitations from foreigners.
