Sri Lanka 2020 Human Rights Report
SRI LANKA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sri Lanka is a constitutional, multiparty democratic republic with a freely elected government. Presidential elections were held in 2019, and Gotabaya Rajapaksa won the presidency. He appointed former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, his brother, as prime minister. On August 5, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa led the Sri Lankan People’s Freedom Alliance and small allied parties to secure a two- thirds supermajority, winning 150 of 225 seats in parliamentary elections. COVID-19 travel restrictions prevented international observers and limited domestic election observation. Domestic observers described the election as peaceful, technically well managed, and safe considering the COVID-19 pandemic but noted that unregulated campaign spending, abuse of state resources, and media bias affected the level playing field. The Sri Lanka Police are responsible for maintaining internal security and are under the Ministry of Public Security, formed on November 20. The military, under the Ministry of Defense, may be called upon to handle specifically delineated domestic security responsibilities, but generally without arrest authority. The nearly 11,000-member paramilitary Special Task Force, a police entity that reports to the inspector general of police, coordinates internal security operations with the military. Civilian officials maintained control over the security forces. Members of the security forces committed some abuses. The Sri Lanka parliament passed the 20th Amendment to the constitution on October 22. Opposition political leaders and civil society groups widely criticized the amendment for its broad expansion of executive authority that activists said would undermine the independence of the judiciary and independent state institutions, such as the Human Rights Commission and the Elections Commission, by granting the president sole authority to make appointments to these bodies with parliament afforded only a consultative role. -

Proprietary Class in the Galle District (1880-1948): a Historical Analysis
International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 2 No. 7 July 2013 Proprietary class in the Galle District (1880-1948): A Historical Analysis. Janeeka Koshini de Silva Senior Lecturer in History Dept of History/ Faculty of H&SS University of Ruhuna Matara. Email: [email protected] Abstract A section of emerging local entrepreneurial class prospered through Galle harbour took to plantation industry around eighteen seventies and eighties in the outskirts of the cultivated area with the shifting of bulk port activities to Colombo with the construction of the breakwater. They started cultivating coconut, tea and rubber in large estates by using the managerial skills of western planters but using local labour. By the 20th century plantation activities of this local entrepreneurial group extended beyond Galle Wallaboda pattu, Walallaviti korale, Talpe pattu and reached Hinidum pattu. With the enforcement of the provisions of the Land Development Ordinance of 1935, the middle class allotments put to sale were purchased by the local moneyed class and converted them into small rubber and tea plantations. The owners themselves using the local labour managed these plantations. In between these small allotments stood the larger estates run by a few European planters manned partly by South Indian labourers and partly by the village labourers. Mean while Low Country Products Association and the planters of the area joined the Planters Association. Thus the managerial expertises of European planters were shared with the low country planters in managing the plantation industry. Thus the interior of the Galle district became a plantation area mostly owned by the Sri Lankan entrepreneurial class with its own separate identity, but having close links with the European planters. -
