The Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court issued notice on two Batticaloa District MPs S. Jeyananthamoorthy and P. Ariyanethran, and Jaffna District MP S. Kajendran. All 3 Tamil MPs were issued an order to appear before court and explain their actions. MP Ariyanethran was prevented from leaving the country where he was not allowed to board a plane leaving for Chennai by airport officials. In a statement made to TamilNet he maintained that he was in fact not fleeing to avoid prosecution but was going abroad to receive medical treatment:
“I was going to Tamil Nadu last minute for medical treatment, and not in any attempt to flee the authorities. I was to have my semi-annual Colo-rectal exam in a specialist hospital in Tamil Nadu.” Claimed the very distraught Mr. Ariyanethran. “ I cannot simply trust any second rate homophobic sinhala doctor to enter my rectum with his arm like I can with a trusted Tamil doctor. This attempt to stop me seeking medical care is yet another attempt to target Tamils in Sri Lanka.”
When asked about the current charges against him and his speech in Germany he replied:
“It is not a crime to support the Hero Freedom Fighters of the LTTE or to support a separate state for Tamils. After all we Tamils have the right to go to White countries and cry like little bitches in front of Human rights groups and try to swing them in our favor. I may have taken an oath to the Sri lankan parliament but I am a Tamil of Eelam first. Sri Lanka is only the country that pays my salary, and pension. I have done nothing illegal”
The TID however claim that the three parliamentarians had taken an oath to uphold the Sri Lankan Constitution and sworn not to encourage inside or outside Sri Lanka, directly or indirectly, any act leading to the establishing of a separate state on Sri Lankan soil.
The TID said it had taken steps to inform the Speaker and the Attorney General about this ‘illegal act’ by the pro-LTTE TNA’s MPs.
MP’s Jeyandamoorthy and Kajendran refused to comment on the allegations stating.
