  • “Disappearance” SRI Lankagulam Mohideen Mohammad Zakariya
    PUBLIC AI Index: ASA 37/28/00 UA 276/00 “Disappearance” 11 September 2000 SRI LANKAGulam Mohideen Mohammad Zakariya (45) A father of five has been arrested at a navy checkpoint in the eastern district of Trincomalee, and the navy has since denied having him in custody. His whereabouts are unknown, and Amnesty International believes his life is in danger. Gulam Mohideen Mohammad Zakariya had been visiting his mother, who lives in another part of the town of Nilaveli, with his wife and one of their children. They were on their way home on a bicycle when they were stopped, at around 7.30am on 11 August. The navy personnel took him away, and told his wife to take a bus home with her child. From the bus, she saw them questioning her husband. Later that day, when he did not come home, she made enquiries at the Nilaveli navy camp and was told that “no such person has been arrested”. His relatives have since appealed to the President of Sri Lanka and made complaints with the National Human Rights Commission and other local institutions. They have also asked the army for information about him, to no avail. BACKGROUND INFORMATION There has been a worrying increase in the number of “disappearances” reported from the north and east of Sri Lanka. On 31 August, Amnesty International appealed to President Chandrika Kumaratunga Bandaranaike to intervene to end the sudden increase in “disappearances” in Vavuniya district in the north, after seven people arrested there between 10 and 26 August reportedly “disappeared”. The “disappearance” of Gulam Mohideen Mohammad Zakariya is the second reported from Trincomalee this year.

  • China's Diplomacy: Growing Empire Or Geopolitical Limbo?
    MAY ISSUE 2020 Puradsi Media. Phoenix - the Next Generation China’s diplomacy: growing empire or geopolitical limbo? SENCHUDAR The rise of the Chinese empire has caused a significant shift in geopolitical stratagems where US-India relations have been fused to counter the political giant’s impending domination. Whilst China has sustainably expanded its economic footing within the global market, the power’s tactics to ascend the geopolitical ladder have adapted a wide expanse of alternatives. Two of such techniques in China’s diplomatic pursuits include their debt and petroleum diplomacy. With China’s “debt trap” viewed as a significant pressure point upon many key developing and highly influential countries, it is crucial to assess the state of the hegemon’s efficiency in countering a geopolitical stalemate – especially concerning foreign competition to establish a footing in Sri Lanka. China’s relations with the Rajapaksa family have proven to reflect the empire’s tactic of dependence through diplomacy to exert their geopolitical influence. The return of the nepotistic Rajapaksa regime combined with the effect of the COVID-19 outbreak have assisted in exposing a tendency for China’s empire to slide into a geopolitical stalemate within the region thus raising questions regarding how this would impact Tamil sovereignty. China and the Rajapaksas China’s top-down approach has enabled the power to exert a steady presence within the geopolitical domain. Furthermore, DeVotta accounts for the Mahindha regime’s approach to increase relations with China as a counter to India and the West. This allowed China to enter the region with a “preference multiplier” strategy.

  • The Sunday Leader the Entrenchment of a Fascist State
    Sri Lanka: The death of a newspaper – The Sunday Leader The entrenchment of a Fascist State Brian Senewiratne MA(Cantab). MBBChir (Cantab). MD (Lond). FRCP (Lond). FRACP Consultant Physician Brisbane, Australia On Friday 21 September 2012 (another ‘black Friday’1), The Sunday Leader, the only newspaper critical of the Rajapaksa junta, was ‘killed’ (silenced), the ‘body’ quickly ‘cremated’ (handed over to one of Rajapaksa’s stooges), and the ‘ashes’ scattered in the President’s House (Palace) and ‘Temple Trees’ (so that the President and his brother can keep an eye on them to make sure they do not rise again (get back into circulation and be a thorn in the flesh)). ‘Temple Trees’ is the official residence of the Prime Minister – now acquired by the President presumably because the vast President’s House in the Colombo Fort is unable to accommodate the ever-increasing Rajapaksa dynasty. It used to be “Queens House”, the residence of the Governor General of Ceylon, and then became “President’s House” in 1972 when Ceylon became the Republic of Sri Lanka. I have no idea who occupies it now, presumably the Rajapaksa clan or the de facto President, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, with the de jure President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, demoted to “Temple Trees”. The assassin of The Sunday Leader has not been identified but the bloody footprints lead to the Rajapaksa junta and the Colombo stock market. Rumour has it that the Colombo stock market mafia raised Rs 190 million, in addition to Rs 100 million given as a bank loan by the President. It is difficult to believe that Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who recently called the Sunday Leader ‘a fucking newspaper’ and the Editor-in-Chief “a dirty fucking shit journalist” was not applauding.

  • Non-Aligned Movement)
    M.A.POLITICAL SCIENCE 4TH SEMESTER PAPER-(404) CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL POLITICS TOPIC NAME- (NON-ALIGNED MOVEMENT) UNIT-4TH Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), international organization dedicated to representing the interests and aspirations of developing countries. In the early 21st century the Non-Aligned Movement counted 120 member states. The Non-Aligned Movement emerged in the context of the wave of decolonization that followed World War II. At the 1955 Bandung Conference (the Asian-African Conference), the attendees, many of whose countries had recently gained their independence, called for “abstention from the use of arrangements of collective defense to serve the particular interests of any of the big powers.” In the context of the Cold War, they argued, countries of the developing world should abstain from allying with either of the two superpowers (the United States and the U.S.S.R.) and should instead join together in support of national self-determination against all forms of colonialism and imperialism. The Non-Aligned Movement was founded and held its first conference (the Belgrade Conference) in 1961 under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, and Sukarno of Indonesia. As a condition for membership, the states of the Non-Aligned Movement cannot be part of a multilateral military alliance (such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO]) or have signed a bilateral military agreement with one of the “big powers” if it was “deliberately concluded in the context of Great Power conflicts.” However, the idea of nonalignment does not signify that a state ought to remain passive or even neutral in international politics.
